Glad you got on the train. lovely image thanks for the time spent creating it.

Nice work. I think the B&W makes it a better shot and gives emotion to the scene that would be lacking in color.

Mitch, I really like this one! The mood you created here is captivating. I like the way the FG grasses work almost as a reflection of the clouds above. I might crop a little off the bottom, but then again the shadows are replicated in the sky. Nice work!

This has a real "period" feel to it, owing to the b/w + tint treatment. Nice comp and toning. Good work, Mitch.

Nice shot, love the bw treatment and the toning you gave it. Very well presented.

I like the sepia toning for this image. The sky, bare trees surrounding the barn, and perspective really adds to the mood here, Mitch.

Great image. Very well crafted!
