Another from my recent collection of moody photos of a quarry wall (LOL). I seem to be in the zone with more intimate scenic views at the moment.

Nikon D800E/70-200f4VR/Lee105CPL
@135mm, ISO 100 0.5" f/13

Available to view at a higher rez. here.

Cheers!
Dave

Hmm, I think I would like this better as a high texture, high contrast black and white using primarily the green channel.

Thanks for that. Since I'm still pretty much learning with these kinds of shots, any reason why you would go for B&W with this one?

I think anytime when strong graphics are the main compositional components as here in this image, the color is more a supporting element. Or can even be a distraction even to the main elements of texture and strong graphic lines. Worth a try at a B&W I'd say...

I get into this sort of stuff as your are yourself by the way. I love these kind of scenes a lot...
