Thought I would make a high contrast image with the water run off in my macro land. Am small beginning with my small landscapes, and black and whites...feel free to critique...its my learning ..

Balan, this presentation is much more pleasing to me. I feel the water's flow fits a vertical format better, the more vertical flow of this image is nicer, and the B&W with the stark contrast works better than the previous version. Suggestions would be that there are a few 4? brighter spots on the surrounding rock that the tempt the clone tool, and maybe have a touch more black canvas on the bottom.

I do love your macro land, Balan. This vertical comp works really well for the feathery flow. I would like at least a hint of more detail in the darkest areas, but this is very artistic. Your work usually fits that description.

Balan, This is very cool looking and also quite interesting. I like the way the water flows through the frame, so nice work on this comp. Just a hint of detail in the rock works for me on this one.

This is excellent. It is an unusual but very appealing presentation. This needs to be viewed LARGE. The small size obscures the detail (I think it is a website issue with the smaller sizes).

Very fine art feel to the high contrast. A little more shadow detail for me. Like how the water flow goes side to side in the frame. Nice shutter speed choice.

Balan,

Incredibly effective processing here. Dark, yes, that's the point I'm guessing. Very impactful; the flow and forms are sensuous.

Very moody and mysterious. Like it.

The comp works well for me Balan, and I like the idea of the artistic rendering. I too would like just a bit more detail peeking through the shadows though.
