Fantastic image. Beautiful in b&w. You can almost see on the right side a face in the shadows on the rocks or is it just me? LOL Brenda #949995

Brenda, Tammy and Kathleen, thank you for your kind comments! Your comments are very encouraging since I'm new to B&W photos.

Brenda, I didn't see the face on the right rock until my wife pointed for me. It's just like this place. Very mysterious. #6115456

Alex, this is absolutely superb and a fantastic image of the Bridge and the area. One of the very best photographs I've seen of our iconic GGB, and believe me, I've seen many. Great idea doing it in monochrome. Wonderful work, as always! #6137536

Hi Deb and Mick,

Thank you both for such kind comments!! Molto generoso! B&W is a big challenge for me. It's more difficult than a color image, but I guess it worked fine for this scene. #6138002

The previous posting is actually from me. My wife and I were using the same computer and I forgot to switch back to my account. Sorry for the confusion.

Great image, Alex! I haven't checked in to BP for a while - it is always an inspirational experience to look at your work! A unique blend of the natural environment and the human footprint. Well done. #6176965
