Comment from Dick Lee Shia


An interesting initial impact.
Impressive b&w rendition. Excellent tonal range. Nice features & textures. Good lighting & framing. Thanks for sharing...
Aptly captured for the contest theme... Best of luck in the contest!

You peaked my intrigue when you mention the beautiful colors before the photo was B & W, I would have loved to see those colors. Sunsets are on of most favorite things to photograph. I do however see the mystery in the B & W photograph. Thanks so much for the different perspective.

    Thank you so very much for the lovely review, but I would appreciate if you stated the reason for deducting all the stars. The reason why the photo is in black and white is because of the requirements of the contest.
Comment from Sean T Phelan


It seems to be a shame to convert colorful Sunset Images into Black and White to me too,my friend,but this one's still a really attractive picture!
It has an interestingly 'eerie' look to it that makes it very interesting and enjoyable to view! : )

Comment from suffolkbrian


this is an interesting one mainly because I am wondering what it was like in colour,sunsets do I think look better in colour,but understand this is for b/w,the lone tree sticking out gives it a bit of character though...brian

Comment from ftbtaxman


Very pretty shot. I like the way the sun reflects off the water and the way the clouds radiate outward. Nice contrast on the clouds. Foreground could be a little more distinct, but OK. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


....but because it was so beautiful in colour you have used those colour differentiations to your advantage when changing to monochrome.

The sky is gorgeous. For me personally, that branch takes away from the sky ....it is vying for too much attention (reminds me of a spoiled child) and gets it. BUT that is just me.

I think you did a great job with tonal grades giving a lot of depth to this photograph.

    Thank you so very much for the lovely review Olga. It is different opinions about the tree (not a branch). Some love it and a couple would have liked it to be cloned out. I can only say that I actually deliberately included it to give the scene more character.
Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


Awesome composition, the inclined tree is excellently used to create a nice perspective in this picture - an example that one single object can change totally the view point

excellent camera settings, in black and white the different hues are standing your very nicely - anyways I would love to see this in colors too with the light
excellent view point - your picture is well balanced and perfect in technical applications, thanks for sharing

Comment from liseworks


Oh I so agree with you,,but we can imagine the suns colours, you have captured a great photo,,the conversion is nice, the clouds are seen and the reflection is wonderful,,the tree sticking out is weird, too bad you couldnt take it out,,

Comment from michiganmike


This seemed like an ill conceived contest to me but this beautiful image may get me to change my mind. Your composition is excellent and the broad range of tones is attractive. Best of luck in the contest.
