well done !!!!

Thank you, aNNa, for your various invitations.

WOW, excellent ************************

toll!!!!!

really nice graphic photo. as i scrolled to write this comment, i discovered that i also like it with the top cropped down quite a bit - it made me notice different things and put my focus on the field lines more.

Thanks, Laura. I ummed and ahhed about this. The original has even more white space and it seemed overwhelming, so I cut and cropped. However I like the white; to me it seems to give a more open aspect, like a wide-open sky. I do understand your point of view, though, and probably on another day (or with more musing before I posted) I would have reduced the white further. Thanks for your visit and your comment which is, as always, perceptive and measured.

Sorry for butting in but your discussion intrigued me. Looking at the image large on black, I find that the near equivalence of the dark and light spaces concentrates the attention on the trees, which look like someone took a plane to their tops (what trees are they, Old Owl?). So, for me the negative space works quite well as is in leading the eye to the most distinctive feature of this landscape. I can see Laura's point of view, in that less sky would bring a share of the attention on the wavy furrow lines, which are interesting in their own right, but for me that takes away a bit from the "surprising" behaviour of the trees and overall balance of the image.

Phenomenal shot! Stay well!

Great photograph fro a black and white, and use of negative space.
