This is my very first attempt with B/W photography and looking for some C&C. I just bought the Sigma 10-20mm and this is my official first "keeper" with the lens!

I think it look pretty cool. I like the motion blur in the clouds. And I think it's balanced well between the big part of the log and the dark part of the sky. Good job!

Thankyou for the kind words! I was originally hoping to get some nice colors tonight, but it was too cloudy...

I've been waiting forever for a partly cloudy day. It's been either clear blue sky (boring) or totally overcast (also boring). enjoy it while it lasts! haha

Really nice but the horizon cutting the image across the middle is a bit distracting. I would have reduced the amount of sky by a bit.

I much prefer the B&W. Nice job!
