This photo was taken this winter. The scene had very dull colors so I decided to convert in B&W. Any commnets and sugestions are welcome especially regarding the contrast of the image. Thanks!

Canon 400D, Tamron 17-50mm F2.8, 1/80sec, ISO100, F11, two exposures from single RAW image blended manually.

Nice and dramatic sky is what really makes the image here Michel, I'd love to have seen a little more of that instead of the FG, which is less interesting.

Ahhh winter, love it! B&W was a good choice here in my opinion! I agree with Jorne about the sky, but I think you have a good image here nonetheless. Do you have more shots with more sky? Would be interested in seeing more...

I'm not sure how I missed this but apparently I'm not the only one since there were so few comments. I think this is a case where the thumbnail just doesn't do the larger photo justice. I think you have a nice photo here. I like the subtle texture in the foreground snow and you have a nice tonal range throughout. Perhaps it would be nice to see a little more detail in the trees along the distant shoreline but it's not too big of a deal. There is definitely some nice drama in the skies. Although this doesn't take my breath away it is still a very fine photo. It would be worth tweaking the processing a little to see if you could pull out some tonal variation from the trees along the distant shoreline.
