Kollweiler, Germany in the early light...while you were sleeping. Enjoy!

Spooky! In a nice way.

Surreal but very engaging.

Reminds me a little of those movies shot in the fifties, sixties, and seventies using blue filters to simulate nighttime.

I like it a lot, although I wonder if you could perhaps be a little less heavy-handed with the toning.

I like the interpretation done of this landscape.

I like it too but would like to see a version with less sharpening…

Yes. It's not how I would do it, but then it's not my picture. :)

Tremendous atmosphere again but I think you've got to be a little careful with this one. Is the sort of image that will be very difficult to print, the blacks/ darks are blocked up (0 black no detail recorded) they are not going to work in print, and something that looks a little like heavy handed sharpening is evident in the trees?

The image is full of atmosphere...but at a bit of a price here for me. Iam wondering what it would look like with the shadows opened up a little ( if detail has been recorded)?

Full marks for experimentation though.

Cheers. This picture was made a while ago (over 2 years) I probably should go back and reattack to see what I can get out of it. I have printed (and sold) it but it was a difficult print.
