Hi Don,
Lots of textures and details to savor and enjoy in this intimate landscape. I also quite like the B&W conversion and I like the way the shadows add a sense of depth to the scene. Very nicely done and no suggestions from me.

Nicely done, Don. The textures are excellent. You might consider bringing down the bright lights a bit and perhaps adjusting the mids just a wee bit. I like composition and the flow of the image.

Ed and Preston, thanks. I’ll give some thought to the tones, Preston.

Hi Don, I like this image a lot. I agree with possibly lowering the highlights just a tiny bit, but overall I like the contrast in this image and the overall abstract results of the pattern. Well seen!
