Hi David,

It's a nice set of triangles. For me it's a bit unbalanced, as top part is very quiet and lower part is very unresfoul. Will tell you in a day ot two, if I like it as it's presented.

Cheers,
Marko

Very nice shadow and light detail, beautiful tones and composition, another winner in my opinion, definitely like your frame of mind. Gorgeous David.

This is simply superb, David. The B&W treatment is perfect and those diagonals of the cypress and of the light and shadow area really make this image sing.

This is outstanding, David!! I love the play of shapes and light. It is a beautifully balanced comp with wonderful detail. I am very glad you are starting to post your "other" images. Great stuff.

Well done. Actually, the slash of light in the FG makes this image for me. I assume that was a conscious effort since it is placed perfectly in the frame. Beautiful.

Hmmm, so far I count 16 triangles. That is an achievement in and of itself, David.

That would make this qualify as a brilliant comp. And, the large version with it's gray background allows all of the excellent detail and tones to come through. Outstanding and very classical B&W image!

This is like the images where you know it's an elephant just by seeing the feet. Understated and extremely elegant. A nice way to see your subject in a new way.

Hi David

there is a symmetry to the angles and reflections here... that pleases our senses. .. the geometry and light are perfect

Excellent image David. Great title for this one. The angled sunlight really makes this a dynamic scene.

Simple and elegant David. The variation in patterns is a nice marriage; the light cutting across the bottom really adds.
