Like that skeleton tree!

Works remarkably well!

Wonderful set, Titia!
Just beautiful and diverse. The last one is a signature Dutch landscape.

I have always wanted to see one of those water mills. Nice shots by the way.

I especially like #2, great vanishing point effect.

Thanks everyone. Oregon is called "The Pacific Wonderland", and I could not agree more. Here is my last entry....I wish I could do more.

Again, my Galaxy S7, this time from Mt. Hood.

I have a fond memory of hiking and camping with my kids around Mt. Hood area!

Dry Falls! Wonderful location...

Here are a couple from Yellowstone in 2013, Oly ZX-1, converted in PS Elements 15:

A geyser somewhere in the west portion


Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the Lower Falls


Final entry is from my phone (Galaxy S9), the main sheets on the 1924 motor schooner Zodiac, again converted in PSE 15. Sorta a landscape, it was out in between the islands you can see off in the distance... <grin>

Yellowstone pictures tend to be colorful, but yours look great in B/W.

Pentax WR90 p&s

It looks like you had a great adventure, Huss (I'd be scared to go downhill from there on a bike, though )!

Pentax MX-1

Another wicked one, I like it.

Q-S1 with 08 lens, pseudo infra-red:

That's an interesting effect, how did you do that? PP?

You made a great use of sepia for all of these. Love the willow, old and beaten up and somehow still looks full of life.

I like how you did not back off to frame the entire tree. Backdrop of repeating pattern of leaves is mesmerizing, and it makes me see/imagine the extent of the branches above you.

Converted it to black and white in PS Elements 2020 with red slider pushed way up, blue slider pushed way down, green slider adjusted a little for tonal balance and then a little tweaking in Levels to get the brightness of the corn up a little.

Just realized I said my pics came from a Galaxy S7, it was the S9. Sorry, my mistake.

Thanks, red up blue down makes sense (IR is redder than red) but it's working particularly good on this one.

After commenting on everybody else's photos, I realized that I'm the only tree-less person , so here is my entry including a tree. I posted this to Q forum a while ago.

Q7, 08 lens at 3.8mm F/4, ISO 100 1/2000 sec.

High contrast look is not my PP but the harsh light and I liked it, though I did have to tame it in PP a bit by pushing shadows up and pulling highlights down.

Two completely different looks on a tree, both wonderful b&w's!

Oh WOW, love all the entries. Nice to see the different landscapes around the world. I don't envy gbl when it's judging time though.
