Nice shot. I like the B&W conversion and the stream leading into the scene. I might consider lowering the brightness of the water to bring out a bit more detail.

Real nice, Danny, The tones look great. Compositonally, I'd like to see more of the boulder on the LLC and the bend in the creek just above it. Just for grins, I am wondering what the application of a yellow filter to the aspen folliage would do.

Is this Bishop Creek? Sure looks familiar.

Rich in detail that's only made better by the B&W treatment. Would really have liked a larger version of this one.

Wonderful image, Danny. This reminds me of works by some of the classic B&W photographers of the west. Beautiful composition and separation of tones.

Excellent Danny!

Would this be the infamous Bishop Creek?

The tonal range looks great as does the composition. My only gripe is that I really wish I could see this bigger to enjoy all that detail. and I imagine the color version is pretty nice too!

Very well done in black and white, i like the conversion you had done. Trees along the creek have just the right contrast. Truly nitpicky , but tiny bright specks under the rock seem a bit distracting when folowing the line of water. May be in the larger version they are surroned by more detail in the shadow.

A very nice b&w image, Danny. I like the tonal separation of the different types of trees, which give the image lots of depth and interest.
