Good shot!

Thanks so much! Love this place tons!

nice

Wasnt sure I was going to love this one black and white but no doubt the shadows and light areas served well for contrast. Thanks so much!

Awesome !! I love the B&W conversion

I just dont do much black and white work and when a contest calls for it I struggle to know what will convert well but I was pretty happy with this one. Thanks so much.

Awesome Val !

This turned out beautiful, the way the light hit the castle through the dramatic sky, great impact.
Very well done.

Thanks so much! I'm pretty pleased with how well it turned out also.

Very dramatic, beautiful shot... Awesome work Val

Thanks so much Lyn!

It looks even great in B&W! Just one queation: How do you give peer recs and likes now? Or is it just my Browser that made the buttons at the top vanish?

Whoa I dont even know, this changed while I was gone and I hadnt even noticed. WTH did they do. I see if you click the award thing at the top it gives you an option for a like but I didnt see awards. UGH! If you figured it out let me know.

And thanks so much, I like this in B&W also.

very nice - the clouds and the foreground textures are special - the positioning of the estate is perfect and the drama set by the extreme contrast is quite appropriate

Thanks so much Dennis I greatly appreciate that.

Great B&W!! Great contrast....Looks like a great place for a photo shoot.

No doubt a beautiful place just down the road from me. We actually have quite a few lovely wineries in our area with fantastic tasting rooms. Thank you so much!

Wow, amazing detail and range of tones. Brilliant image.

After playing with a few shots there was no doubt this one had the best range and interest in black and white so for sure I thought it was best for yet another black and white contest. Thanks so backing this thought up I greatly appreciate that.

Very dramatic, Valerie, but I must say I liked it a lot better in color. That was a pretty difficult shot to beat with anything though. :)

No doubt I love it in color way more. I'm not a huge fan of B&W but did it for a contest and was pretty pleased with how well it worked so just kept it.

Great composition, light & shadow with an amazing sky ! ! ! Well done ib Black & White ! ! ! FAVORITED, PEER RECOGNIZED & VOTED ! ! !

Thanks so much I appreciate it greatly, even though Im not a huge fan of black and white landscapes it is great to see that so many can be created for this contest and still retain contrast and interest. Thanks!

Excellent capture!

Thanks so much bud I appreciate it!

Amazing black and white treatment and nice composition!

Thanks so much, not my usual format but did this for a contest and was actually surprised by how much contrast there was. I was pleasantly surprised for sure. =D
