Polarizer, Red filter

~ it may have contributed to slightly too black blocked out shadows, but I would have expected the sky to run more black too, the red filter worked better than I would have expected. It is good to note this example.
Wow ! Beautiful W&B shot !!!! Beautiful place !!! ;)
I think it's pretty much perfect. The clouds are brilliant white, the shadows are totally dark. Doesn't get much better than that. I think the darkness of the sky depends on the redness of the filter. So hard to say if the sky should be darker without knowing the filter you used. Great picture.
I've not used a REAL red filter.. I've taken a color shot with the Dimage A1 (with polarizer filter on the lens). Then i've converted the color image in a B/W one using the red component. I'm sorry for the "qui pro quo"..
Fantastica! :)
Contrasting lights and shadows
Peaceful and romantic, very Ale :)
Ale, you're always trying to push the boundaries of your photography, and this is a fine example. It's a very strong image, and one that I'm sure will inspire you to go out and do other excellent 'filter' manipulated work! M.
i agree with R3MAF. an expressive b/w photography,powerfull tones. !!!!!!!!! #:O) !!!!!!!
Excellent B&W conversion though. The different nuances on the grey scale are very interesting i.e. the trees & the filtered sky gradation. We likes it muchly precious!
A peaceful spot to wander through
Beautiful B&W shot with strong contrasts!
Beautiful work Ale..... such a view!
works for me ale, the path leading you in, hope to see more of your country!! :]
Have to agree with the rest of them, beautiful b&w work =)
You know I'm a colour freak... so to me the B/W takes a bit of of the loveliness of your beautiful country... but that's just me!... wonderful shot though!
super shot......
Excellent technique and a beautiful shot. :)
extremely beautiful
I'm a fan of BW and I think that this is very well done! I love, how you captured this beautiful way. I'd like to see the lower part of the image less dark.
I agree with what R3MAF said. Strong and beautiful image!
Wonderful, has that nostalgic feel to it...
An excellent quid pro quo
Beautifully composed image, I love the strong tones! You live in a very beautiful country =)
If you do not mind I must say that is one of the best B&W photos in RR. It should be used in any serious professional photography school. PERFECT IN EVERY ASPECT !!!
