[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
You might not agree with the title, as these are obviously vines. However, as I took this shot on a VERY foggy, cold morning, this is the feeling I immediatly felt I had to convey.
The process of converting this image into B&W was done with creating this atmosphere in mind, just to way I felt it ought to be presented when I woke up to that fog.

Wonderful shot, Guy, very moody. You did a great PP work here, created a very strange and scary atmosphere. Great b/w composition. Wonderful.

The straight lines and regular rows are very reminiscent of the war grave yards scattered all over europe and the dull foreboding light certainly adds to that mood Guy.
The hint of form in the mid distance is exquisitely rendered in this excellent low key shot.

Great feeling of fog and evil powers. The of centred perstective is fine. I must admit I first thought it to be a WW I memorial with a "no mans land".

Oh that looks cold! It's a beautiful shot, well composed with a wonderful spooky feel to it. B&W was a must for this one. Well done.

Brrrr cette photo fait froid dans le dos, ambiance superbement rendue...

Very moody pic. You have done a very good job creating a cold atmosphere, even though the photo is not what I thought it would be when seeing the thumbnail and the title.
Well done.
