Thank you Rebekah and Elemer! It was a beautiful summer day and the shot just begged to be converted to black & white and I loved the low contrast look for this shot. I can't wait to see how it looks in a print.

Thanks Gudrun and Kyle! When I shot this I was thinking it would look better in b&w and I can't wait to get a print made! I appreciate the Y* and making my gallery one of your favorites - that means a lot.

OK, in a way you can't go wrong with Yosemite - there is so much breath-taking scenery there, but looking at some of the other pictures taken from the same spot, you've gone a long way right with this - it has a wonderful feel to it :)

this picture is amazing! i love the black and white and just how it looks. you always do such a great job with all your pictures, keep up the good work. - Jed Fackrell

Thanks for your comment Graham! With digital its so easy to go for the super saturated colors and tack sharp image but for this one I wanted a more film-like look with low contrast that captured the essence of a lazy summer afternoon. In a sense, I wanted a shot that was very unlike most digital shots and more subtle.

Thanks for your comment Jed I'm glad you like my pics as much as I like yours!

Looks very good... and feels morning-y - could be just me, but I can't help this from sounding in my head when I see it. S.K.

Thanks for your comment theverbiage and I think you're right ;)
