Rock and Grass

Yea or Nay?

Absolutely Mark. I dig it. The isolated lighting makes it work. B&W was the right choice considering the contrasts.

I don't know. The rock just seems it should be darker and have a "heavier" feel. I can see the contrasty lighting makes that difficult though.

I agree with Mearle...the rock just seems too "light" the way it is. The rest of teh image is perfect in b&w, Mark.

I vote yea. The rock catches light, which is, you know, like, the essential stuff, and contrasts with the dark water. I believe a good photo is a portait of a sunbeam, which you have given us here. Maybe the grass is a little bit busy but the dark water and the ripples are lovely.

I'll let you know if it grows on me.
