Love the textures of this image, D and L, with its almost animistic feel. - It works so well in black and white, reminding me of some of Paul Strand's images of driftwood.

This has an almost spooky feel to it.  Well seen and captured.

Thank you very much for your very nice comments. 
Yes the B/W conversion works better in our opinion.

Excellent framing and lovely curves and hollows in this tree.  My only nit is that I wish you had enough dof to get the recessed area in the lower left corner as sharp as the rest of the image.  The black and white works very well here.

Very interesting wood. Isn't nature marvelous, in it's patterns and textures?
Love the play of light here, and the B&W treatment.
Very nice work!

Daniel & Loana, glad to see you post again. Nice composition, lines and patterns. I see an elephant trunk here.

I,m not an arty sort both, but I like this. And it takes me back to  monochrome days. It can be interpreted in many ways.
Well done

An excellent textural, well done in B/W. A bit over the top with the sharpening.
