Clash of the Titans 2 B&W
This is a slightly different view of the same location I posted in ESS. I actually like the lines a bit better in this one, and wanted to try a monochromatic take.

Excellent use of leading lines. The image is balanced perfectly.

Great lines and tonality! I love it.

What an awesome shot! Love the well defined textures, lines and beautiful shading. It actually looks more sepia than b&w to me - beautiful.

Yes, Janet, this is sepia toned.

Zach, this is awesome! I'd venture to say one of the best I've seen from your collection of good stuff. Very, very nice!!

Sepia is really good.. nice to see it for a change - let's you appreciate the details of the walls without the usual over saturation of oranges...

Cool way to present this - taking out the usualy color has me focusing more on the lines and shapes..... which I all love !!

Very dynamic and striking image. Excellent work!

Very nice Zach, I love the texture and that you've kept detail through the shadows. This is a really, really well done image.

I'm surprised I like the sepia on this. :cool:

I like it Zack, but wonder if it might look better without the Sepia. Call me a contrarian, but that's how I see it. :smile: :smile: The nice thing about this is how the texture of the walls stands out more without the color.

Wonderful. Very elaborate with all the twists, turns, curves, and lines. It's a visual adventure.

You've done your usual good job with this. I agree with John about the pure B&W vs the sepia. I do really like all the balanced role the tones in this play.

Good to see you posting again.

If you've never been there then you really can't imagine how hard this was to compose. I've been there three times, once only two days ago, and even then was wondering how I'd put it together. What size lens was this, Zack?

The sepia really works in this slot, the reddish I keep getting in my color photos never looks too appealing.

Mark, you're right, it's very challenging shooting in these tight slots, I think it took me like 10 minutes to get my tripod set up so it would stay put.
