Pretty good for your first. I like the vanishing point right on down to the horizon. I think I would bring the black slider up in histogram adjustment just a bit to get more detail in the trees. Though this way creates some really interesting shadows in the snow.

Jim, it looks like you could have designed this for a Twilight Zone episode. It is stark and mysterious, somewhat "danger ahead" material. The shadows make it even more awesome. Very well done.

Very nice view and row of trees,very good photo.

Cows are going to like this one I hate to tell you Jim Bobtail.
I just love the shadows and the rows going away to who knows where. For some reason this makes me think of the Holocaust and creates sadness. Congratulations good friend. Have a great weekend. Faved by the way

The dark trees all straight in a row makes the snow white road seem to gone on forever. Very nice depth..

Super Capture !
It reminds me of a Dream Image.
Good Work on this one.

I like shadows created in this one. Also the line of interest is well done.

I like the dark mood to this one and I also like that you took the photo right down the middle, Great shadows in contrast to the snow.

This is GREAT!...wonderful composed,good choice of B&W..!..love it!

I love everything about this image Jim ~ from the starkness of the trees & their shadows to the depth of that lonely path. B/W was a perfect choice & sets the mood here ~ one of sadness & loneliness. Excellent work + faves.

Stunning manipulation in b/w and fantastic scenery.

Wow, this is great Jim. What a good eye for a shot, particularly doing this in B&W. I like the way it takes you straight out to the horizon. Faved!

Jim, this B&W image creates a certain, hard to define, mood. The eyes are lead to the horizon and are not lead away by (coloured) fringe. Very good first B&W image.

excellent symmetry and perspective and even without their foliage and fruit they look stunning! ...especially if you photograph them from the perfect angle which you have done here! great shot!

I love it! Beautiful shapes of the branches and their shadows in the snow. The B&W is just perfect for this photo, ads to the light/shadow play. Very well done!

Excellent work Jim. Truly excellent.

Add another big thumbs-up from me. The extreme perspective and undefinable location give this a very abstract and ominous vibe. I also appreciate that you used all of the dynamic range possible - the image just pops for it. Kudos on a job well done.

Good subject for your first black and white. I think it's all been said, but I wanted you to know that for once I'm really taken with a black and white!

BW does this justice Jim...very stark contrast...well done...gerry

That's one mighty straight line running through that orchard Jim. :o)
I know many people like bw Jim but I prefer colour unless the image is really grotty. The blue sky would work so well against the browns of those cropped trees

Wow, this one's going in my fav's. Nice work.
Thanks for commenting on Lover's Lane

looks so uniform... nice composition ... nice post:)

Great manip! The B&W gives it a very mysterious look!

Jim,
This was perfect for B&W. The shadows are great, and the lines and angles perfect. Very nicely done!
Pam

Really impressive for a first, it caught my eye :)

Nice shot, Jim. I like the sharp contrast between the black trees and the wite snow. The shadows are fascinating as well. An awesome overall image.

Eeerie, makes me think that aliens are gonna pop out from behind those trees any second like in a horror film. Nice one!

Love this one, one of my favs of yours.
