My favourite landscape in the challenge. I'm surprised to see it in B&W, given the colours that must have been there. Surprised, but not at all disappointed; this treatment allows the viewer to give due attention to the astonishing tone and texture of the thing. Absolutely absorbing image, beautifully composed and presented. 10.

The only improvement I would suggest is a little more brightness/contrast. 7

Great perspective. Overall the dark tones dominate, would prefer a tad brighter foreground.

Theres obviously some very interesting texture here, but it's hard to make it out! I think you need more contrast in the ground to make it pop more. As is it's kind of dark and washed out.

Dynamic & dramatic. Nice b&w-tone.

haha, you can get loads of people reaching for their anti-aging creams just by looking at this one. the overall effect really works for me in this picture. nice perspective too!

Very cool...like the texture and the toning.

Nice wide angle-shot. Would love to see a colour version.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

How you got that perspective I really don't know - it's amazing. Such a sad, barren image though, I respect the skill involved in its production but I don't like it.
11/10/2005 12:22:09 AM
Eat your heart out, Ansel Adams! A little too dark in the center background, but very, very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

An angle well done on this master piece! Contrast is very well used in this photo. I wonder if you used one of those panorama kind of lens since the land starts to curve off. The clarity of the picture is excellent and it fits the theme splendidly. I'd bow down to you especially for this shot.

Alright this looks great in B/W and wideangle! The only thing I find distracting from a perfect image is the weed that extends over the mountains from this angle. I really like the textures on this great photo.

11/09/2005 05:25:28 PM
Nice distortion, it works well here and creates a nice, dominant forground to compliment the rest of the picture. Would love to see this one in color.

I like how you chose to use the portrait display! Love the deep cracks. Great perspective. Almost rounds itself. Must be a cool fish eye lens. Very well done with sepia. GOOD JOB
