I am pleasant of your kind "critique". Yes, I am new (registerd) in this forum, although as a visitor - cca 3 y. I'v had cold feet. About picture: yes - the tree on the left side - it was a dilemma for me (gentle branches reach behind). B+W - I tried, but I like "natural monochromatic" more. - Unsaturated scene - natural color of trees was grey mostly, and strong PP (curves, exp. comp., sharp...) was applied. Exposure of original picture was not accurate. Sorry of my English.
Thank, thank, thank...
