Hi Kaye, I'm glad you liked it I think the darks are needed to be dark in order to make the sky and reflections look powerful for this particular image. But I will edit one more sunset image in B&W and I don't think the darks will be so strong in that image because of a different sky and composition. Believe me there are much more contrasty B&W and much more colorful landscape/sunset images of some photographers in some books and some articles I have been reading for some time. So, mine is just exploration and trial
Very mysterious ...and Masterly....
The photo has an eerie feeling... like the calm before the storm. Very nice.
Beautiful Binnur! I don't think that the blacks are too black either and I like the fact that you are trying something different. In a way this image is cool because it doesn't have color and it allows the viewer use their imagination - was the sky on fire or a lovely shade of pink? I don't know and I don't care to be honest but you get the point.
