Winter Lenticular
On my way down to the San Luis Valley yesterday to check out the cranes I photographed this. It cried out for B&W!
FYI I wrote a piece on my blog about this image.

Lenticulars are amazing aren't they? Very nice treatment of this image and the conversion is great...that cloud just jumps out.

Outstanding in every way!!

Great view, great comp, excellent lens choice, perfect in monochrome.

I would think that one would sell!

That is some dynamic sky you have captured here. Very nice conversion.

That's AWESOME, Steve! I'm jealous.

Soooo, how were the cranes?

Thanks for the comments guys!

Todd: not too many cranes and frankly conditions for photography were not good.

Great B&W Stephen! I really like the sense of scale you achieved here.

Fantastic image! The BW really makes this look dramatic!

Whoa, that is one eye catching image! B&W was a great choice.

Good call on the B&W...with a landscape like this with that clouds B&W is definitely appropriate!
