 The road that goes around the city reservoir...shot on a whim during a break in the clouds. I prefer it in color but that would REALLY bomb, much worse than this will! :o)

Converted to greyscale, a lot of dodging and burning, tons of contrast adjustments, cropped, resized, USM, Neat Image.

I never voted on the AA challenge Laurie. Great shot and this scene really (I mean really) cries out for a panoramic shot - that would be awesome!

edited to say, just try scrolling up until you reach the top of the bush, I think that is so much better?

Doesn't feel quite contrasty enough to me but still a very lovely picture.

Nice exposure! It seems to be missing that something special to look at.
