Trying out my new wide-angle converter. This was shot at -.3 exposure in color, then converted to b/w using the channel mixer, then sepia tone added. I will post the color version after the challenge is over. The greens were phenomenal.

A wonderfully dreamy shot. This is the kind of shot that looks really great with a bit of soft focus. I'd love to take a stroll down that path. An evocative shot!
Edit: There are a couple of rectangular items in the shot, off in the distance a bit, that could be mistaken for rubbish. I still give it a 7 though. Great lighting :)
I like this very much. It seems timeless and mysterious and dark yet light. Love the light coming in the back and leading toward you on the path. The only thing that bothers me is that it is slightly too soft. I like the tone of the softness but not the loss of clarity. Also, what looks like garbage doesn't fit the scene at all. Great job. 9
I originally gave this a 5, but going back thru my stuff, I am moving it up some. I really like the way this looks like a vintage photo, but somewhat clearer. I think the thing that really gives it some character is the tree on the left leaning into the center of the frame. Nice work with this one and best of luck
A familiar looking shot around DPC lately - I like the tone for this - I have a recurring dream that could have happened right here! Great lighting, surreal, dreamy feel to it. 8
Lots of great tones in this one. Not sure if a softer focus was used, but seems like it. May just be the tones, though, that make it seem too soft. So, I would like to see a bit more sharpness for my taste on this type of subject, unless you want a Midsummer's Night Dream feel. (C:
