Challenge: Best of 2006 (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF Nikkor 35mm f/2.0D

Date: Sep 29, 2006
Aperture: 4.8

 My best shot of 2006? Hmmm, maybe not but one of my current favorites.

This was shot during my vacation in Rome, mid-day in harsh light. Probably has been shot a million times and a bit cliche, but new for me. Originally a color photo, coverted to B&W using Capture NX

Cheers everyone.

excellent composition! and a really great exposure given the harsh daylight. I agree with Bmartuch, it would be cool to see it in color, too!

I like the composition a lot on this. The two trees give a great sense of perspective!

B&W definitely is the right choice for this - I don't even need to see the color version to decide. Very well seen.

Jayson - the trees really make the shot. Try this - it happens to be how this shot showed up on my screen: crop it at the bottom so it's just above the top of the hill. What do you think of that? It makes the shot all about the repeating patterns in the trees and removes what, to me, is the distracting ground detail.

Palatine Hill, yes! I've taken almost this exact picture, with the two trees juxtaposed just like this. Nice call w/ the B/w. good stuff
