What a view from your backyard! Good job on the B&W conversion, I like the high contrast.

I like the vignetting that you have done to the image, very nice conversion and processing. You have a really nice view from your home. I think you could get some killer thunderstorm shots with that back yard.

Nice neighborhood! The vignette gives this a dark, moody feeling which I like. I don't know if its just the odd placement of the houses or the perspective or...but it seems just slightly tilted ccw to my eye.

Agreed on the vignette.

Sorry but it's just Tarzana, CA (northern LA county). Wish it were Tuscany...

Yowza. Dude, you have a killer back yard. Kind of an odd composition with that hill as the central point, but it seems to work OK.

Wow, what and awesome view from your backyard. I really like your B/W processing. The detail is amazing.

I like the balance of the curve of the hill has to make this black and white composition stand out.....

Thanks - I thought I was going crazy too - but nope, it's just head-on with a non-fisheye.

Nice range of grays here. I'm not sure about the vignetting. I sort of like it, but it almost feels to closed in.

You're very lucky! I'd love this view from my backyard! I really like what you did in the post processing.
