Hello Gilad.
A very well captured shot, very dramatic in b/w. You manage very well the light and contrast, to get a magical atmosphere. Very good job.

Its interesting Gilad, but not quite a success.

I imagine this was shot at midday since the sky is so washed out - so B&W was an appropriate choice. its too bad you lost so much definition in the mountains and middle sky though. The whole top-center area just seems so void thats its a tad distracting.

I decided to do a workshop so check it out when you get the chance and let me know what you think. Now, admittedly my workshop turn it into a totally different photo; your original maintains a certain 'dreaminess' which seems to totally disappear in my version -- but i think a happy medium between the both of ours might be best.

take care,
steve

Hi Gilad,

this is a very dramatic shot. It is almost a draw instead of a photo.

I like the peace of this landscape. B&w is very beautiful.
Doubtless I would have cut the lower edge but we lost the reflections of clouds.
Anyway a beautiful shot.
Congrats.

Abstract and unearthy as it could be.

Hello Gilad,

A very surreal picture with the background of mountains.
It's true, the sky is washed out and you also see it in the black and white. The workshop does work well on this shot. But it's still a very interesting shot. Great composition.

Greetings, Dennis
