Default A couple landscapes this time





I never really do any B&W's so i just played around a little with this one to see what i could do with it. I should have started over from scratch because it was already sharpened, but i cheated and edited the sharpened image. Next time i'll do it right

good comp with the fence and the treeline , Love the foreground and the pond's reflection in the second.. nice gradient sky too ..

I see what you mean in the B&W .. the conversion brought out all the brighter colors as white.. still a good shot for a conversion though, would like to see a version converted up to your standard of excellence.

it's really cool to see you working on a new genre.. new wide angle lense is going to get a work out and I'll be ooh'ing and ahh'ing in no time.

I really like the composition of the first one. My eyes just keep following the fence all over the image and stopping at the red and green gates. The flowers are great eye candy. Keep enjoying your new lens

You mentioned you new lens recently and use it here to excellent effect.
Great set and I especially like the the middle picture with it's hidden water treasure and the sun glistening off the trees and the beautiful white flowers and grasses peppering the foreground. Good job Prime

Great Captures PrimeTime! Looks like a great place to take Macro's l.o.l
I really like the composition on both shots and the flowers in the foreground in the 1st on really add to the frame. The second is beautiful with the reflection and the grasses in the foreground. I also like the black and white version as well, I agree with you though on the sharpening, it kind of leave a very slight luminance around the trees. (See I learned something from your experience)
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.
