Fort Pike Revisited

Happy holidays to everyone. I've been liking this new super wide angle for these types of images, and this time I was there during cloudy conditions and decided on a desaturated and toned image, which I thought gave it some character. 4x5 crop of 4/3rds original. Larger image included.

E-5 ZD7-14 @8mm Manfrotto 410 geared head on GT2531, ISO 100 5 seconds f9.0 0.0EV

Very interesting shot...lots to look at with all the lines, diagonals, and curves. And I like the sepia...makes the mind see the stone "in color".

Excellent processing, and great composition. The eyes are lead all the way thru. Glad you had enough DOF. Blurry at either end would have ruined it.

I like this one, Bill. Quite a few elements to deal with and get them where you want them. I like the lighter overall tones here.

Very cool. Rather than a leading line how about a leading arc- or a few of them? I could go for a tad less ceiling but nice as is.

Interesting perspective, great leading line, many arcs, and good DOF. I might try a little CCW roation.
