Excellent shot. Wonderful scene and composition, good choice of B&W. I think noise reduction would improve it--I find the speckles/artifacts in the sky distracting from this beautiful piece.
what a lonely scene! you have used your exposure to bring out the dank feeling of the day. The slight motion in the bush adds wonderfully to this emotive feeling. Hard to capture emotion in a scene. I think you have excelled in it here.
