Very nice, Sam. Almost expect to see a head poke through the clouds.

Hi Same

What a lovely monochrome. It's very intriguing the way the light shapes the landscape, but it also makes me feel a bit despondency, not in a bad way if it makes sense?

Sam, I love it. Would 40mm off the bottom help? Just a thought.
Cheers Ole

I think you could be right Ole. I also added a bit back on the top.

Sam, that thar Virginny sho is a purty place.
On a less offensive note...I do hope you're printing and hanging all these great shots, otherwise what are walls for?

I like the cropped version Sam, very nice image and your title suits the image well

I also added a bit back on the top.

That change was even more helpful to my eye than cropping at the bottom. A very nice image chock full of layers and interesting rays of light.

Light from the Heavens, nice image Sam.

Jack, I am glad you like some of my photos. I always see room for improvement. Also, it seems I loose some resolution in the upload of some B&Ws like this one.

I've often though about printing one sometime. I do not want to invest in a printer and there are probably more moonshine stills around me than printer businesses. So that leaves me on-line services. I afraid that it might take a lot of trial and error (back-and-forth) to get something to look "good" enough to hang. If you have found a good service I'd appreciate the recommendation.

Thanks Jim.
