What do you think of this one? I am thinking of getting it blown up. Would like some opinions before I spend money on the print.

I like this image - the tree trunks have a beautiful "silvery" cast. I think it would make a nice enlargement.

At the end of the day if you like it then that's what really matters! Go for it, get it blown up and up on the wall and enjoy it! :D

FWIW, I like it too!

It's a nice composition, but only your GF can decide whether it's a wall-hanger.

Good point Stan. I'll have to ask her. She mostly likes dark and/or backlit stuff the best. This photo might not be bleak enough for her. This is her favoite picture of mine: http://www.pbase.com/r​bndave/image/46522586 (external link)

I like it too. Might even look good as a B/W.

I converted it to black and white on my computer to see what it would look like and it was really nice if you want to see I will post it.

Thanks guys.

Go Ahead and post the black and white if you want. I think this photo has so few colors it kind of has a b and w quality without actually being b and w.

B&W beautiful also, but I miss the color of the low grasses contrasting the starkness of the grey trunks...both nice though!
