B&W Long Exposure

[bnnrcn]

It is good to see that Tinypic problem was solved when I was away Here is the image that I was trying to upload about ten days ago. In my absence I was in Black Sea region of Turkey for shooting with some photographers for 8 days and I shot a lot of images. First I need to choose the ones to edit and it is going to take some time to do that. After editing them, I'm hoping to upload some nice and interesting images.

Because Tinypic works now I'm also uploading a cropped version to my thread Long Exposure for your comparison with the original. Sorry for being so late

C&C appreciated.

Binnur, I love it. I especially like that you have resisted the urge to separate the background even more from the lake. Maybe lighten the reflection from the trees LHC just a tad and I mean just.
Cheers Ole

Loved it; i really like varnished look or the waterbody.....

[Mike Buckley]

Terrific composition! The slight motion blur in the middle tree conveys a sense of peace.

[Dave A]

Very pleasing image.

Very beautiful. Love the look of still water, and the trees are quite beautiful. Very nice framing. Thanks for sharing.

I could see it hanging on a wall. Super image Binnur.

Thank you very much Ole, Nandakumar, Mike, Dave, Sharon and Mark I'm glad that you are happy with the image.

Ole, actually the reflection doesn't bother me very much but I will consider your suggestion.

Nicely done, very crisp conversion.

Nice conversion but I prefer color version.

Thank you John and Jean

John, actually the scene was full of crisp materials like bushes,trees and rocks. So I used the sharpening function in ACR for output sharpening and pushed the masking slider to 76 in order not to sharpen every part of the image.

Jean, you like colors like me. Because both images are from the same location, I wanted to edit this one in B&W.
