I really love B&W but am still very new to extracting the best B&W from a color photo. With this one the sky was originally pretty well blown out, so I blended, a light and dark version to get as much as I could out of it. To me this kinda looks like one of those 1950 western movie sets where ths background was painted. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Sam

I agree, It has a very western feel to it. There is some detail missing from the sky, but it does not bother me. you have a great tonal range in the rest of the image and the detail in the wagon is excelent. I like the composition a lot. this is a wall hanger for sure in my opinion.

Nothing wrong with that picture Sam. Everything works.
The wagon looks ready to roll on. Mountains are there, you'd expect indians on horses any minute...
John Wayne is in his coffee break and therefore not in the scene

Beautiful Sam! I think you've done a great job getting high contrast on the wagon. The textures of the wood and the tumble weeds against the smooth velvety hills are great. There is so much to look at in this picture. Great job.
:clap

Thanks everyone for your comments. It seems far easier to look at something done by another person. I know if I like it or not. Much harder for my own stuff.

Also at work we have a few photography folks, and we bring in new photos for comments, and others chime in as well.

Since y'all been so nice, I have some supper left over from the "In your House" challange, and y'all are welcom to partake of same.

Thanks again,

Sam

Nice shot of the back lot in Hollywood, Sam.

Just kidding. It does look quite the antique all over. The blk and white looks fine to me, I am not a connoiseur (sp), I just do it, sometimes, see if I like it, if I do, I might use it.

I do like yours, very good, I think. You captured the tumbling tumbleweeds and all..............I remember them well, from my young life outside of Denver and from the old TV westerns when I was even younger.

A great shot.

One which shows how much B&W can bring an image to the viewer's full attention.

This is a nice shot. The detail in the wagon is great. The small bush and the
sky really add to the composition. The detail in the wagon helps draw your
eye into it. Where as the sky's lack of detail really makes the wagon stand
out (did I say that right?).
