Helpful Posts: This is one of my first B&Ws. If I had shot with f/8 it could have looked better, but I realised it when I saw it on my computer screenSo, the photo was taken with 300 mm and f/5.6 .
C&C appreciated

Re: B&W / From a day in the woods
Binnur...there is an interesting feature of your shot at the top right hand side -- the spidey and its web...would be nice to digitally zoom and blow that one up...
This is a nice comp...but the background is a little bit distracting...

Re: B&W / From a day in the woods
Very interestingly shaped branch. Im only viewing it on my cell phone screen but it looks like it turned out even with f/5.6.

Binnur,
I liked it; i wonder whether it would look even better, if you trimmed out the right side bunch completely; i liked the treatment very well

Re: B&W / From a day in the woods
Thank you Isabel . I have to crop the image quite heavily to blow the web up but I will try and if it works I will post it for you.
BG is busy because there are so many bushes around. I think there are some ways to deal with BGs in photoshop but because I'm a new photoshop user, I hope to learn them in time

Re: B&W / From a day in the woods
Here is Nandakumar's suggestion..
Nandakumar, when I cropped the image I had to clone out a part of a big branch. Because I used f/5.6, twigs below are not in focus, but crop gave another composition anyway. Thanks for the suggestion And because unfocused part is not very nice , look what I did with Picasa as a second alternative

Isabel, I tried your suggestion but it didn't work well
May be in the future I can get some decent spider web shots for you
