Well my first image posted to the forums here
Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado
One of my personal favorite places to shoot at, luckily no one was around and the park was empty when I shot this, which allowed me to get this shot off. C&C appreciated

Beautiful shot John. The composition, exposure and contrast look spot on to my eye.
I can see why this would be a favourite spot - The empty road looks great.
I would also be interested in comparing a colour version.
You have alot to offer this site - I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks! A colored version huh? I'll see what I can do, I'll have to start that fresh from RAW as this was intended right off to be a B&W
Beautiful B&W landscape John.
I can see that park like a paradise for photographers...

Superb composition, processing and photographic vision.
great comp really like the tones..........very nice first pic post John

Thought I would return and flesh out my comments now I have time.
I love this image, great B&W conversion and wonderful tones and textures. The clouds make the shot.
Care to share your work flow on this?
