I am glad. There are so many reasons to work in this medium, but to me it is mainly
because it is a fun craft to work with. It is about how you build the final image

Great image and BW subject. Can I ask about the image name?

Baine´s Baobabs, also known as The Seven Sisters, stand like an island in a salt pan in northern Botswana.
They are estimated to be between 3,500-4,000 years old. Their name stems from a painting by British painter
Thomas Baines, done in 1861. I parked our pick-up truck lengthwise behind one of them and it doesn´t
show on any of the photos. This gives you an idea of the girth of these girls.

Wonderful detail on this image. Great use of contrasts, both subtle and stark!

Excellent composition and great use of B&W.
