Mudgee gets cold in winter so I figured these pics from last weekend suited a B & W treatment best given it was a cloudy overcast day anyway. DO these work for you? BTW Both were taken with the 10.5 DX fisheye

Sublime Peter! Looks like you have the FE mastered. Love the look and feel of the b&w conversion and composition is spot on.

You might as well throw away your other lenses Peter. That Fisheye is all you need for great photo's.

Peter,

Both greatly composed photos with excellent treatment.

Looks wide and cold out there

Peter,

THese are great.

1 has a cold feel that I instantly associate with WW2 POW camps. Composition works with the sole dandelion in the middle of barbed wire. Horizon is slightly off but it's minor.

2 is just perfect. THe simpleness of the composition works really well. It's edging towards a Michael Kenna style shot.

Top work Peter, I really must come on a shoot with you one day.

Peter - you are really making that lens work huh? Fantastic photos - and perfectly converted too !!!!
I really love the symmetry of the second shot - congratulations !!!!

I love the perspective in that first shot and terrific B&W treatment... Both of these work well for me, the symmetry (spelling?) in the second one seems to have a nice balance...

Were these de-fished in Capture or anything?

First one is stark, bleak, cold. Really excellent.

both hauntingly beautiful Peter

Thanks for the feeback on these. The dandelion really makes #1 for me. I PP'd these two in a different way to my usual style of using the Nik Color Efex filters and used Virtual Photographer instead.
