Hello benson. This came out really nice. I wish you had posted your exif information to see how long your exposure was. The circular trails in the sky don't stand on theirselves as a lone subject, but are sustained by the tower. Perhaps if you had lifted up your camera a bit, you'd have included the center of the circle which can barely be seen on the upper left corner. I like the atmosphere of solitude enhanced by the b&w conversion.

A very effective shot, Benson--those clouds really glow! It gives a surreal effect. I hope your fingers have recovered. Regards, Ken.

I'm wondering how you can feel the difference between -16 and -26....?

This is a very interesting effect you got in the sky. The shot was a good choice for black & white...wintry and desolate.

Regards, Lisa

hi benson,
the tale of two circles is unfolding and your sacrifice was well worth it. The upper left corner is just perfect!
happy new year!
