This is probably my favorite view of Blackwater Falls in WV as you are high enough to see part way up the Blackwater River. Mike and I had timed our visit perfectly with just the right amount of snowfall as it seemed to impart a refreshing mood to the scene. This was 2 vertical images blended and converted to B&W with Silver Efex Pro 2. As always thanks for taking a look and leaving a thought.

Beautiful winter scene! It feels just a touch cramped on the left to me, but no idea what be lurking there. Add a bit of canvas? Minor though, a most enjoyable image.
A well composed shot of the falls, Ed! I like that you can see upstream before the falls. The square crop was a good choice for this scene as it covers all the critical elements without a lot of extra to distract from them.
Ed: I’ve spent little time in West Virginia other than passing through on my way somewhere else but this points out that there is a lot of beauty other than the mountain and coastal west. Marvelous scene and a fine conversion. Count me in on also being curious about the original color file. >=))>
Ed: With regard to the color file, one of the reasons I would like to see it is to look at how you got from there to here. As one who doesn’t do much B&W learning from someone who’s doing a pretty nice job would be helpful .>=))>
