[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 299662, member: 9240"] You certainly had a perfect day for shooting landscapes. Love the photos, but I have a bit of a problem with the fence post shots. In the top photo I find them to be just a distraction. They're there but they don't lead my eye anywhere. Had you moved to the right a bit and had the fence angle in from the corner it would at least draw the eye in to the center of the frame. In the B&W shot I like the use of the posts, but need them to be more obvious. As is they just blend in to the background. I don't know what you're using for your conversion, but playing with color levels in whatever tool you're using can help make them pop out just a bit. It's a lovely shot, and from the title you wanted to emphasize the presence of the fence, so it would be nice if it was more clearly visible. I'm assuming it's the same fence from the other shot, which means the color may blend in with the hills and brush making it more difficult to bring out with some tools, but I think it's worth the effort. Picking nits, sorry. Really lovely shots. I just think you can crank the B&W up a notch or two with a little more post work. If you're unsure what I mean, PM me with a color copy of the shot as I can't show you on the B&W. [/QUOTE]
