Welcome!! I like it but the foreground is a little too much, try cropping some out maybe?

Agree with 98photo about cropping some of the bottom away. Nice shot though.

did you convert your image to black and white, which method?

I did convert it....the original was in color. I converted it through Photoshop CS. I went to the top of the menu to image, converted it to black and white, and just adjusted the brightness and contrast a bit. :D

hello rudedog..
imho, you should crop the sky a little.. somewhere right above the tree..

i'm not professional but i like the depth the sky adds.
i agree- the ground should be cropped out.

I agree on both accounts. The capture is fantastic, but either the sky or foreground should be cropped. :)

When you convert a color image to B&W like that, you lose a lot of information within that image. I get very good results using channel mixer.

Thanks for the the tip....I'll have to make the adjustment and repost.:D
