A fantastic shot...beautiful lighting and detail. - V

Doug Cruden		07-Jan-2010 22:31
Ooo it's a difficult choice! I love the starkness of the B&W, there are more gritty textures and tones...it seems more....tactile is the only word I can come up with!

Guest		07-Jan-2010 22:13
What an incredible night shot! I love the light trails in the sky and it is a very cool persepctive!

Cindi Smith		07-Jan-2010 21:16

Gary Blanchette		07-Jan-2010 18:58
My oh my, it's really tough choosing between the color and B&W. Excellent.

Maaike Huizer		07-Jan-2010 13:17
Stunning. Gorgeous contrasts and perfect perspective.

Guest		07-Jan-2010 11:24
WoW!! Fantastic shots in colour and B&W! VOTED

Bernard Davis		07-Jan-2010 10:28
Certainly looks bleak and wintery. Great shot, I think th B&W works best for me, but they're both excellent. Voted

Colin Storey		07-Jan-2010 09:36
Fantastic noturnal image.

Great play of light and beautiful compo, strong image!

Kerry Tingley		07-Jan-2010 06:34
Nice capture Phillip. I like the B & W image better. It's moodier.

Guest		07-Jan-2010 05:37
I like the way the tree lean seems to follow the star trails, very good

Timothy Guenther		07-Jan-2010 04:05
Cool effect! Nice perspective and composition!

Nancy Lobaugh		07-Jan-2010 02:51
well-lit.. now if the wind would just stop blowing!

Jim Stone		07-Jan-2010 02:50
Wow!

Jeff Lobaugh		07-Jan-2010 02:08
Striking image! I've been wanting to try this for a while now.

Ray :)		07-Jan-2010 01:58
Well worth standing in the cold for 136 seconds!

Walter Otto Koenig		07-Jan-2010 01:57
I like the b&w better. It's more dramatic and emphasizes the details of the tree more. Very nice work on this long exposure.

Guest		07-Jan-2010 01:30
A well exposed night photo Phillip.

Ed McConnell		07-Jan-2010 00:56
very nice shot Phillip..I like the b&e beat.

carol j. phipps		07-Jan-2010 00:54
Outstanding image! V

Kevin Chester		07-Jan-2010 00:43
Phil , just a quick question on your apature selection, Im my recent Bowes Museum shot I used a typical small apature that I would use for Landscape ( Think it was about 14) . I got a lot of noise in the image and it was suggested that I use a wider app, say f8. Is this why you have gone for F5.6? I'm still learning a lot about the art of night photography so appologies if tis seems a bit of a "num nuts" question.

Kevin Chester		07-Jan-2010 00:39
Two brilliant variations in processing Phil.

Now we're talking... I have to say I am usually in the trails or pinpoints camp, short trails like this rarely work, but they do here... With the snowy tree there is just sufficient ambiguity that the stars could actually be falling snow.. That doesn't seem so apparent in the colour version, which is an intense one for sure... This is a really cool shot...

Yvonne		06-Jan-2010 23:46
That is snow drifting in the darkness? Superb capture of the tree & lovely light on the skyline. v

Stephanie		06-Jan-2010 23:36
This is SO awesome Phillip! I love everything about this image, right down to the stars. V.

lisamidi		06-Jan-2010 23:27
Fabulous processing, love the light on this tree that makes it a little mysteroius. v.

Kathryn		06-Jan-2010 23:15
Wonderfully mysterious, love the stars, another Amazing shot.

J. Scott Coile		06-Jan-2010 23:12
Stunning! Big COOOOOL!

Barbara Heide		06-Jan-2010 22:57
wow! fantastic processing! v

Stewart Mitchell		06-Jan-2010 22:48
This is an eery black and white Phillip and works superbly well.....but this time colour has the edge, when in direct comparison!
