I wouldn't change a thing about this one. The texture and detail is excellent. I can see it in an old barn wood frame hanging in a lodge setting. The depth of tone is well done. BRAVO
I think textures and shapes such as these are ideal for black and white which really highlights form so well. The lighting is fairly even in the lower two thirds of the image but the top third suffers (in my opinion) from overly harsh light. I imagine this is outdoors so it's just the position of the sunlight.
This is so cool! The horizontal and vertical make such a great textural contrast, while the black/white does its contrast. The only thing I would do for improvement, is cropping a bit off the bottom - and that is just a personal thing :) The lighting and all is just perfect!
This is a great B&W due largely to the variety of tactile and tonal textures conveyed successfully. The goal of a good B&W is to have a balance of bright whites, stark blacks and a stack of greys throughout the range between the two. This has it all as well as pleasing compositional values, linear definition and visual interest.
Interesting range of textures and well composed. A use of a smaller aperture to make the whole image in acceptable focus may have been implemented in this situation.
