Hi Bill ... Thanks for your comments on my RETRO 45 rpm insert photo. I just came accross this one of your latest in the same thread and I have to say that I LOVE it. It is so peaceful and I LOVE the cropping and tones. It is a very warm and well balanced B&W image IMO. Congratulations on its creation.

Very nice composition, good use of DOF for detail, and excellent low key treatment. Has a peaceful but kind of lonely feel to it.

Fair and good comments, Ursula. This was an experiment with my new copy of Aperture and CS2. I was trying out post processing and probably should have just kept it in the workshop.

Comment by ursula:
Is that two people on the far side under the willow? It's a bit hard to tell. In this picture, I like the pattern of the willow-branches agaist the sky. As a whole, the image is not working for me, because I am not sure what to look at. It has good colours, but it is not telling a story, or just showing an idea or a pattern or something (at least not to my eyes). One idea, if you were to get closer (so to say) and take only the 1/4 part at the bottom left, it might work as an "idea" image. If you were to take just the willow branches against the sky, it might make a good pattern image. I don't know. I would also go explore in the pines to the right - pines have all sorts of possibilities for pictures.

Yea - good job bill. I'm in agreement with what Germaine's had to say... but want to add that the final result is still appealing. On the practical side, I think fill-flash would have made the difference here.
