Its complex, almost busy, but it works for me due to the fascinating mood, and i like the high-key look!

I like this picture. As Stan says, there is so much going on, but it holds together well. I suspect that the b&w treatment helps that considerably.

It's a beautiful image, Stuart, but it's really begging to tell more. Looking forward for what's to come.

I like the B&W here Stuart but that is your signature. I miss B&W film work and your images always bring me back to where I want to be. I like the untold story you speak about here and the guessing of what has gone one on. Nice!

Superb, Stuart. The design of your composition is exquisite and the tonal range has captured an incredible lightness to the light yet with still bold graphic elements in the foreground. While one can see a story in your image, one also sees an artist's vision. Phenomenal.

I was merely there, a small, puny, awestruck man,
praising Almighty God, with camera in hand.
Make a few images, well.

Stuart, your image keeps my attention especially by this reflexion in the foreground, which is embedded in an interesting pattern of shapes, lines and textures. The b&w conversion is consistent with the atmosphere.

A very nice b/w image, Stuart, with a strong documentary feel to it. I see how it could just as easily be in the EPJ forum. I like the way the river winds back into the shot, and the way my eye is led by the leading lines and position of the trees.

Extremely fascinating! At first, it looks almost as a casual or purely documentary shot, and then, the more you look at it... it becomes full of details, resonances, and the grey tones are fantastic. Splendid, very classic.

What I have always loved about your work is how real the scenes look, yet they are presented in an artistic fashion. I can not only enjoy your vision but also know that such places actually exist.
Look forward to seeing more of your beautiful creations.
