i missed this when you posted it terry .. and its my fav of yours too ... love the sepia and the absolutely beautiful scene .. love those leafless branches and that bridge ... extremely artistic ..
Great image. Nice toning choice. May wish to do a slight CCW rotation to level off that bridge a bit. I almost missed the boat on the embankment there. It's an interesting piece that could be highlighted with a bit of dodge to make it stand out more and add to the scene.
I love this image; the fence is the only downside, as I see it, though the clouds could be a tiny bit less bright in spots (some individual work on those might bring them in line). Still, made it a favorite for the composition and the toning; brilliantly done!
The shadows look good in this, and I see that the sun is shining a bit there now, which must feel very good.
Good choice to not use color. I also like that you included the tops of the trees beyond the tracks.
