Good capture, the little amount of colour make this picture really interesting, and in color works much better than in BW

Lovely piece of work! Reminds me of the poem "Mending Wall" by Frost.

Wonderful mood. The detail of the rocks is set off by the soft background. Cool shot.

@Beat: Thanks.
@Ca†≈: Thanks Ca†≈. I discovered this tutorial http://www.picturecorrect.com/photoshoptips/betweencolor.htm and decided to give it a try. Might look nice with some of your portraits. Although I think your shots are great the way they are now!

cette composition de pierres reflète bien l'atmosphère que l'on devine derrière.

i loved the way the photo drew me in, all the way through to the mist in back - i didn't realise there was a treatment until i saw the comments; thank you for posting the site - i saw a lot there that it would be fun to try

Thanks for this tutorial. I'll buy photoshop this month.

@Ca†≈: I use GIMP because it is free but photoshop is probably better (GIMP can take a little while to get used to and doesn't have all of the functions of photoshop). Sounds like you have a nice garden. The deer eat all of the flowers we plant unfortunately!
