Autumn - Windy Ridge

Nice 1st try! I look forward to seeing where you take this.

Did you enlarge this? I think it looks great!

That's beautiful, and instantly grabs you as an image. I like it very much. A great mood. Rgds, K

great 1st .... wishing you many more .....

Nice image, quite spooky in fact.
The diagonal white(ish) lines going across and up draw my eye.

Guys, thanks very much indeed for the kind and quick responses. I am flattered. Thomas - This is the scan of a version printed on 8 x 10 paper (image about 7 inch square I think). I contacted the original 6 x 6 neg, contacted that positive onto another piece of photo paper to get paper neg then used that 6 x 6 neg in the enlarger. Had to have three minute exposure to get this enlarged print. It was more about trying to see what would happen and a lot of trial and error really but a lot of fun and quite surprised by the result. I was really impressed and inspired by a shot Vic did on a paper negative some time ago and really wanted to recreate the grainy mood he had achieved. I personally think it is not a finished product yet (not so sure about the top right area for a start) but I am going to keep at this process. Thanks again for the support.

I've been doing B&W since 1977 and I think that this is one of the best B&W images I've seen. Simple, elemental, beautiful. I wouldn't change a thing, it's perfect!

I missed this when it was posted. Bad time of year for me but I am very happy to see this now. It's an amazing print.
