POST CHALLENGE
Wow. I'm really surprised this one did as well as it did. I expected my typical 5.8. I'm glad many saw what I did. Processing was multiply, resize, save for web. Thanks for all the comments and the favs!

I finally have a landscape in my top 10!

The forest seems to be in mourning here, in comparison to the color version.

This is awesome! First, you used my favorite color scheme - B&Wish! Second, the depth of the image is amazing. Third, there is so very much to look at. The stories that can be imagined when looking at this are infinite. Wonderful job!

Given my track record in voting, you won't win any ribbons with this, but I think it's magnificent. That one little bench - it speaks volumes.

I really dig this shot with the exception it´s a little too dark for my taste, had the lower half been a little brighter I would have voted a bit higher but as it is it still got a 7 from me.

love this...and am sure it would look great much bigger...
it is almost as I am forced to hesitate, and let my eyes adjust before I venture forth...
you have done a wonderful job in keeping this dark and low key...great work!

Great composition and lighting. I don't think it even needs a person on that bench. One of my fav's.
