 This is a marsh in Portland, Maine. I was amazed at how beautiful this part was--the grass (?) was lush and beautifully overgrown and forming lovely patterns.

This is a very difficult shot to reduce, since the texture of the grass is so important. I think the BW version may carry the mood better than the color version. Let me know what you think.

Ok, here's a slightly larger version (800x533) but it makes a big difference I think!...

OH beautiful! The sweeping textures of the grasses and trees are just wonderful. Splendid image!

This is truly stunning in b&w - the color version is lovely, but this one has a wonderful aura of mystery. And your processing on those clouds is remarkable!

This is a handsome shot. In this case the B/W works better for me than the color version. However, I feel the dark areas in the BG are too blocked up, and I'm not happy with the awkward truncation of the trees on the upper right. Finally, for me the stray branch upper left is a significant distraction/anomaly in this image, though others might not feel that way. I don't like how it touches the BG treetops at all, and I also wish it weren't totally disembodied, floating out of nowhere.
