On Yosemite Creek

I liked the color version of this, but after working it up in B&W, I liked it more. This was taken from the bridge over Yosemite Creek, just below Yosemite Falls.

Beautiful little stream image. The B&W works great, too. No nits from me. I like it a lot.

Preston,
Very nice image. Agree that B&W works perfectly and processing looks great.

Beautiful B&W work, Preston. The composition looks spot on, a nice frame enclosing the water from all sides. The texture of that granite is remarkably beautiful. You could crop just a tad off the bottom but I don't think anyone would notice the difference really. Nice work.

Hi Preston crying

I can almost hear the flow of water. frown

the B&W version certainly presents more drama to the water motion. ... excellent work..

Preston, I apologize for missing this image. My computer time has been very limited in the past week or so. I love this. The tones and textures make for a beautiful intimate b/w. Nicely done.

Preston,

Terribly sorry for not commenting sooner - been crazy busy.

This looks awesome! Your processing is top notch with this one, I have no nits at all. To me, this could almost define what a silver gelatin print should look like!

I really like the composition too with the rocks nicely balanced with the flowing water.

This is excellent!

I like the placement of the three rocks, that looks very dynamic to me, which fits this type of photo very well. Shutter speed is also spot on, with the right balance between dynamic and detail.
