 I am in love with this place. I live not far from this gorgeous old cottage
Used a Sigma 10-20, focused 1/3 of the way into the scene, recomposed and fired off a few shots at different exposures.
Converted to black and white in CS3 using the b&w adjustment layer, levels and usm.

This reminds me of some old Hindi movies of 50s and 60s. Disturbingly quiet! LOL!
Congratulations on the yellow!

Actually, best shot I've seen so far in voting.

Love the composition, with the road inviting you up. B/W is a good choice for a subject like this.

The textures are fantastic, and the road leading the eye into the shot makes it memorable and gives it an energy. Nicely shot. Beautifully seen.

Beautiful shot, and nicely processed to get good contrast and tonal levels. It's a pretty place too. I think that this will score high in this challenge.

Lovely scene, and processing of the photo is excellent, although maybe not suitable for B/W, but I like the tone mapping. Or is it an HDR? 6
