Pic was taken at Arcadia Bluffs golf course. Channel mixed to BW, adjusted contrast and clarified (several times), burned the sky then smudged. Cloned out some things/cleaned some things up. Sadly, this is fairly heavily cropped and it suffers a bit because of that.
First crack at a BW landscape. Probably not the best time to do it with the tough competition that will dominate this challenge, but oh well! :-)
I will definitely recreate this pic this summer with my Rebel and 17-40L...

This shot is gorgeous and a great candidate for the black and white treatment it really brings attention to the lines forms and details. A top shot. 10
this is a beautiful image that has a ton of potential. i do fee it is a bit top heavy, the way you've split the horizon so close to the middle, especially when you have such a dead, empty sky. good luck with the challenge!
I love pictures like this! Black and white. So sharp it looks 3-dimensional. This is beautiful. Even with so many entries, this one has to be in the very, very top! Good luck.
GORGEOUS! I love the lines here! I just wish there were either some clouds in the sky or not quite so much of it. Maybe crop some out? Great use of large DOF... beautiful with everything in focus... love the black and white and the contrast here. Nicely done.
Excellent black and white. The horizon in the centre of the shot just doesn't work for me though... perhaps a square crop is not the best choice here? Wonderful variety of textures, patterns and tones. 9
Nice saetting for an exceptional photo. I really like the lines of the hills and grasses. I like the counterpoint of diagonal hill lines and vertical grass lines. It's a powerful composition with perfect placement of the house in the frame. The nearly empty sky contrasts well witht he lower two thirds of the image. Hope this ribbons.
