Fantastic! Very nice exposure. Love the reflections and the descending lines in the bottom part of the frame add sad, drammatic mood. Great B&W rendering, and the noise/grain adds roughness to the picture. 10

I love it! There is so much B&W feeling in it.

Neat spot. I think this location was used in another location. Looks very grainy though, and I might have kept this in color

Cristin! Such a rad shot! Beautiful, with the pools and the rocks, this is just so beautiful. I love the grain, but unfortunatly I'm part of about 5% of DPC that does. Good luck though, hope you finish well!

Great idea and the B&W works for your subject. However, the grain doesn't work for me.

The overall graininess doesn't seem to add anything extra to an otherwise nice composition.

too much noise

I like the low angle to give you more reflection of the rock and the triangle also found in the clouds on top but this is still a hard picture to see. I am not sure. Maybe too dark? How does it look in color? More contrast? You are definately going moody on this.

Love the grain. Very surreal. I hope you didn't get hammered for it but excellent shot. (9)

whoa, that is noisy...I imagine it to be a very beautiful scene though...I'm sure this location has great potential, but know the limitations of your gear.

Beautiful and highly emotive. 10 from me and good luck!

Just curious, is the noise added for effect? it almost appears that way but I am having a hard time telling. if so I think it works well. If not it still works well.

8 :) great mood.

Of course, I would say way too much noise. But, in this case, it's perfect and surely you did it on purpose...I like it!

the noise makes it a little hard to see clearly what's happening. i like the sue of B&W though :)

Nice composition and the black and white works well I think. The noise or graininess really blows it though. Not sure if that was intentional or not. 6.

I see the effect you were trying to achieve (and you do sucseed) But it's a little too much for me. (and I hate your border with passion.)

Grain is good!
Makes it a higher form of art for me.

I love the graininess for this,...great perspective
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think the grainy attempt falls just a bit short of the artistic effect you were trying for. Experiment a bit more with this to see if you can pull it off without making the birds look like dust specks.
