  • Thanks guys! I actually took 2 shots of this tree and I personally prefer the portrait orientation. Initially, I didn't even process the landscape orientation but I really wanted to submit a B&W this week so I used the same processing including the grain for the landscape.

  • +1 Looks good in small version. The large one has scary noise :( Maybe a lower ISO or a trip through Noise-Ninja can help.

  • +1 Like this one a lot. Agree with @Itai - large version is noisy but the small version works. Nice mood and colours.
