Aaaannnd another Bear lake.. but b&w

So i saw a post earlier about a b&w photo from bear lake and really liked it.. so i thought i would try one..

Does this work?

I think if you lose the log, it works much better. Having something framing the bottom of the image would be nice in order to break up the 50/50 split, but the log just isn't doing it for me.

Nice work on the b&w. If you could pull some detail out of the trees on the upper right, I think it would help, though not a big deal.

Posting it bigger would show it off much better as well - you can use the whole 720px at no extra charge!

+1 with Rick's comments about the log and the trees. I think the log would have worked more if it was pointing out into the lake.

Love the sky, but the strongest contrast is between the clouds and the trees in the upper right and that draws my eyes over there and out of the frame.

hmm... well looks like ive got some work to do...
thanks for the thoughts!

I agree on the log, to me there just isn't enough of it to include it. I could almost see this as square, and cropped above the rock in the water. That would also give a little more emphasis on the sky which is strong in the image especially in relation to Halletts.

Sorry, Nate.. that log is just too much of a dare
