A nicely layered monochrome landscape image with varied tones and textures that create a sense of depth in the image. I would suggest a slight crop in the water in the foreground. Also, I would like to see more detail in the island.   Posted: 03/10/2025 11:53:24

Nice landscape shot, Mark. Well composed with a great depth of field. I like the dramatic sky. The sky appears to be noisy. Perhaps I would reduce the noise a bit. Nicely done.   Posted: 03/10/2025 18:56:38

Mark, this a well-taken landscape with plenty of mood and balance. I'm happy with the lack of detail on the island as that is replicated by the land mass on the right. Yes, I think a small crop off the base would help and working on the noise in the sky.   Posted: 03/12/2025 09:32:18

This is a very beautiful landscape picture and because it is in Black and White, it allows for a clearer view of the beautiful forms, shapes and tones. It is further strengthened by its layered composition, I lost counting how many layers but for sure divided into four distinct areas of layers - water, mountains, island, and sky. It is very well balanced and by looking at the image, one feels calm and contemplative. At the same time, there are distinct areas that particularly catch one's eye, for example the little island with its ragged and uneven pine trees, the fantastic cloudscapes, and the wonderfully faded tones of the mountain ridge in the background. It is truly a lovely scene. Depending on how much post-processing one's heart and brain tolerate, one could experiment with how the picture would look if one removed a few of the small islands/rocks in the midground to enhance separation.   Posted: 03/14/2025 17:36:03

Wonderful layering in this landscape. The sea, the island, two layers of mountains and more layers of cloud. Wonderful. I like the contrast of this image and yet you have not lost the detail in the darkest parts. Lovely. Perfect black and white.   Posted: 03/20/2025 18:53:17
