Challenge: Best of 2005 (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Olympus E-300 EVOLT
Lens: Olympus 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Zuiko Digital
Location: Scituate Reservoir
Date: Oct 17, 2005
Aperture: f11
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/100sec
Date Uploaded: Jan 14, 2006

 Scituate Reservoir taken in late afternoon last fall. The color image didn't really appeal to me so it now is a tritone image..cropped, levels, unsharp mask, channels in monotone, greyscale, tritone conversion...sharpen edges, dodge a few trees.

I think it would be really cool if you had somebody standing out on the point or something. Still a rad image though

Many differant tones here, in this fine example of a B/W image.

The clouds add much needed depth to this image. Not sure if B&W adds in this composition.

Very nice B&W work with good contrast, however the sky seems to get much brighter around the trees. Is that from editing? I think it's a bit of a distraction.

Some pictures of Nessie are not as good as others.


The black and white composition adds greatly to the photo, making it appear to have more character than it might have in color. Good work
