I converted this image using Nik Silver Efex. I used the high structure filter and then softened it up a little.

Beautiful B&W. I love the crisp, sharp, silver look of this image. Did you try cropping the top 10% off?

[denise ippolito]

No, but that's a good idea-thanks!:)

so beautiful - I would love to see it printed huge - it looks like the water was really smooth - and the reflection is almost perfect?

[Paul Lagasi]

Nice one D. I also would go with a tighter crop, make even more of a pano. I am a sucker for mountains, vistas, reflection and this has it all. Looks like you had a great time out there. Lovely work...TFS

Denice,

Greetings. Just beautiful! Agree with the crop from the top. The rising mist ... ah.

Cheers,

-Michael-

Hi Denise, agree with the small crop. You captured this classic scene well. The detail was brought out nicely on the left. The sky adds greatly to the impact....

[Cheryl Slechta]

Denise, this is gorgeous in black and white. A little crop would be nice but the clouds are so nice I think I'd keep them.:)

[Andrew McLachlan]

Nice convert to B&W Denise. Love the clouds and reflection too! Well done!

[Kerry Perkins]

Beautiful Denise. Agree with all the nice comments above and I would love to see it larger too. Could go to 1024 wide here... :cool:

[denise ippolito]

Thank you all for your kind comments. I appreciate them. I did take a small slice of fthe top-so thank for the help.
Kerry, I size everything to 800 on the widest edge when I downsize for the web-it fits into most of my other web postings such as my blog,etc.. :)

[Kerry Perkins]

Gotcha. :cool:
