Larch trees

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 16, 2011129 views7 comments

Here I wanted to zero-in on few larch trees growing on vast mountain.
Made this image couple of months back (late autumn) in Switzerland. The trees are back-lit and I was shooting these from the mountains opposite to it.
I have colour images too & though autumn is best seen in colour, I wanted to try posting few B&Ws to know your thoughts on it.
I shall post the colour images soon after posting couple of these B&Ws

Techs:
Nikon D300, Nikkor 70-300mm, hand-held
f/11, 1/400, ISO400

Views/critiques welcome.

Very nice. I have to admit though that I would like to see this in color too.

I like this in b&w. The comp works very well too. The lit up trees look great against the dark ones surrounding them.

Very appealing There's a sense of a small chorus of light.

I think b&w works well here. Great image. My only suggestion would be to open up the shadows a little bit.
