Dramatic lighting and textures. 7

Nice Composition and thoughtful..

Too much contrast in the sun lit areas but the sky and shadow areas look really good. I would redo it and mask out the sun lit areas slightly.

This reminds me of a painting but I can't remember the title of it now... The black and white makes it seem like an alien landscape.

Well captured and presented. We've seen this in color many times ... the B&W gives us a new perspective. Thanks.

No wonder they built it there - look at the view. Great cloud formations, too.

Almost looks like another planet. Good job.

Good shot but I feel that the color version would score higher for me.
Post actions
There are some nice leading lines here but the whole image feels rather busy and difficult to view.
Post actions
toning is great, using the arch to help frame the shot is well done

This certainly has an Ansel Adams feel to it. :~)

I like the framing on this photo.

Feels like a sacred place. I'm wondering what this looked like in color.

The post processing has given this somewhat of a cool, surreal aspect.

what a view...such majestic space

While I imagine this scene normally has strong red hues in the stone, I like that you took a different approach and went with black and white.

Great image, good job with the post processing.

What a view and light! Nice postprocessing.
Post actions
interesting b&w tones in this
Post actions
I think it was to bright or something. Maybe the wrong time of day. But the subject matter is really wonderful and the natural frame is very interesting.
Post actions
looks like a beautiful place, I would like to see this in color
Post actions
Very nice study of shapes in B&W.
Post actions
Awesome processing to make the lighting look just perfect. Usually you'd lose some details in the shadows, but that you way you captured/edited this, you didn't.
Post actions
Good tones. Would like to have seen the color version.
Post actions
great landscape, but i don't know if b&w is good for it. it gets a little busy...
Post actions
Although a fan of high contrast there is too much contrast in the fg for me. Wonderful view.
Post actions
Great use of contrat and DOF -really like the shot.
Post actions
Nice image very dramatic but a little over sharpened?
Post actions
Cool shot from behind the bend.
Post actions
Nice composition, the highlights seem a little strong but it still works well.
Post actions
Nice shot, a bit over processed for my liking though. 5
Post actions
Black and white works good here, well done.
Post actions
The sky here is fantastic. The stark black and white are very difficult to do without losing detail and I think you did a wonderful job.

Wow! Love the composition of this photo. You have the sweep of natural stone going across the top portion of the image while there is a lovely sweep of clouds that wash over this desert scene. Love the old Anasazi ruins you see here with the time worn Kiva. Natural beauty and the story of man and our ancient past, love the imagery you present us here. To me that stone arch is symbolic of how nature will eventually erode and cover over what man builds. Here the stone arch 'appears' like it is a wave ready to crash over what is left of the kiva. The B&W tones are very lovely. Well done and well presented.
