Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
This is a very peaceful image, Ian! Meditative... I think I am starting to see in all your work the ability to cover a very large space out of which you manage to pull many various textures out that are very well balanced and complimentary of each other. And that is what makes your images rich and full.

@Nataly: Thanks Nataly...I'm pleased that you see those things in my photos as my ambition with these types of landscape shots is always to get as wide a tonal range as possible whilst still keeping the shot balanced and true to the spirit of the original scenery.
Stu from Kyoto, Japan
This is a lovely, soft image Ian. Love the composition and those clouds are great. You're b&w is, as usual, magnificent too.

Subtle and beautiful. I can imagine this as a 2m big blowup on the wall.

Delicate and full of detail. The love the way the tones vary across the frame. Beautiful!

Interesting sets of lines... The verticals unveiling the horizontals, round and gentle... Great shades of grey.

Beautiful & serene b&w image. Coincidentally, I am listening to Yanni in the background here at work. All I need is a cup of herbal tea, and I will become one with my keyboard.

Yes, beautiful and tranquil... and what I enjoy even more is the somewhat dreamlike atmosphere that you've captured! A wonderful pic.

Well captured. The softness of light in this image is part of its overall beauty.

Gorgeous. I love the moody light. Did you add a vignette in PS or as filter attachment?
2 Jun 2008 4:56pm
@Russ Devan: Russ, to answer your question I didn't use a filter attachment. I did a tiny bit of burning in the sky areas in PS and that was about it apart from the obvious B&W conversion and tone. This image had a pretty strong natural vignette across the bottom from the sillouetted reeds and the mist shrouded sun provided a highlight that threw the surrounding clouds into compartive darkness.
