About the Image(s)
Sometimes I like to play with images that aren’t promising. This is certainly one of them. Although I was hoping to obtain a feeling of increasing depth with the original photograph, it simply didn’t work. So, after converting it to B&W, I played with the cropping and light to see what could be done. I even decided to use the “rule of thirds,” which I don’t often think about. In any event, here’s what I came up with. I’d love your thoughts!
Data: Canon 5D Mark II; 24-105sdsmm @ 65mm; 1/50 sec; f/4.0; ISO 1250

Pete, I like it very much and fell like sucked into the vortex.
I admire how you converted a rather profane color photo into a dramatic black and white picture. The enlighted section (which I havent spotted in the color picture) is the cherry on the cake which makes this an extraordinary picture.
I dont spend much thoughts on the rules behind the pictures neither. As I like the result here, I consider this picture a proof point for the rule of thirds.
Very well done!
