Just a simple photo I thought I'd share.

Great image.

Wonderful detail in both the sky and trees. The trees appear overly sharpened but that might be only in the downsized image displayed here, not your master file.

What a wonderful sky. I personally feel you can tell yourself you're getting to grips with B & W conversion work when you start producing skies like this. It pulls out just enough detail and structure in the sky without overdoing it (which I think is the biggest mistake that the less experienced make). The patchwork of tones in the trees reminds me exactly of that - a patchwork quilt. Beautiful.

It doesn't have one main focal point that draws the eye, but I think if you approach viewing it as a study in light and tone, then it doesn't need that.

Mike - I tend to over sharpen so I would agree with your observation. Thanks for the complements.

Donald, you see it very much the way I do as a study of light and tone. I did not think that much of the sky except the lighter clouds in the forefront help add a balance in tones. Thanks for your comments.
