Stuart, this is great. The arrangement of the elements is so perfect it looks like a drawing. Wonderfully seen and captured.

Stuart, I love the shapes of those plants (what are they, they look huge?)... love the processing, looks like an image straight out of a book about Africa from 100 years ago...

Hi Stuart, I have seen your image yesterday (or this morning) and planned to make a comment when I get the time. Now I saw your comment on my image - thanks!
So, as usually, your bw work immediatly impressess me with the subtle, but clearly noticable aesthetic and meaning. Hard to express in words (and in a photograph). This shows a very unspectacular scene, but I see it is well selected and "designed" and it works on many levels. Another interesting aspect is the compressed isolated view, while still a sense of distance and depth is conveyed. Excellent photograph!
I am downloading....

The trees look like alien creatures and you've caught their attention. I like the sepia tones and high key treatment and the ethereal effect they produce.

I really like this image, especially in B & W. The way you composed this with the ruins leading inwards brings my eyes to the shapes and textures of the Aloes. Very well executed.
