Wow! This is really a lovely photo. The black and white choice was an excellent one. It is just beautiful! #468309Carol Teal June 19, 2006
My first response was the same as Lani's "Wow!" Very nice comp, excellent choice for B&W (I like how it is not exactly B&W) This is very beautiful! #2918350Manuel Barrera June 20, 2006

I echo the "wows". Beautiful photo #2921119Philippe Remels June 20, 2006

This is drop dead gorgeous! I love the scene with the fence in the foreground, but that B&W makes this look so dramatic.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
