Hi cessy

Good tonal range in this superb b&w. I like the symmetry of the 2 trees & their reflections. Good timing to get the couple on the bridge. Tfs!

Very nice and very impressive. The very special world hung in the midst of sky and sky-reflected. Fine composition. Greetings T.

Nice simple photo, Cessy, the couple walking on the bridge makes for a pleasant subject and the symmetric framing brings a lot of harmony to the scene. Looks quite good in b&w.

Hi Cessy.

May be it needs more contrast.
Anyway, a lovely scene and composition where the black and white is really necessary.
Well seen and well captured.

Regards.

a very nice one Cessy
I think it is a fantastic photo, the balance is nice for me, and the lines are good, the details are great, and you handled the shot very well by this difficult light, well choosen for the balack and white, good photo job.

Hi Cessy,
A romantic compo with nice atmosphere increased by the mist, trees on both sides of the couple balance the image well.
Good framing and fine B& conversion
Regards

Simple details cessy, working well here in the choice of bw. Maybe a more offcentered crop (removing a part in the lower section) had worked as well - creating a little more 'dynamic approach'. An idea anyway...

What a nice and simple photo in its simplicity and yet complex in its execution, Cessy. The couple walking on the bridge makes a quite pleasant subject. Well placed and framed with these trees providing symmetry. You're very right, I can see how calm this weekend must have been.
Is it a conversion or were the light conditions such that it turned to be monochromatic?
TFS, Peter

Hej Cessy,
Great shot with an excellent choice for B&W! It's wonderful to see that the horizon only is visible because the water is a little bit greyer than the sky. The trees and the two persons on the little bridge are a great addition to the middle of the shot, well done!
Hilsen,
Lars

Hi Cessy. I like how bright you made this b/w as it lends a painterly feeling. The beautiful simplicity stands out as a strong point. This works fine with or without the leaves but without the people it would feel incomplete. tfs Cessy!

Hi Cessy,
The large format is most apropos here, with the fine reflections spreading out toward us and the two trees balancing one another in the frame. The couple walking really appear alone in the world. Very effective compositionally, with romantic flair. Well seen and captured.

Good coice of th square format to get the two charaters very well isloated in a big empty space with big sky and big lake. You were able to carry great atmosphere with this beautiful compsotions with the bridge and the trees. very well done.

Hi Cessy,

what a wonderful b/w photo. I like the classy low contrast b/w conversion, it really sells the mood. A beautiful setting for a romantic photograph
