Land of the Giants 1

The Fens

Shot taken into sun,with an incorrect exposure creating silhouettes and a washed out mysteriousness. The overexposure of the wind generators creates a misty look. As the colour saturation was reduced by the incorrect exposure, the channel mixer was used to convert to monochrome in PSP9.

Canon PowerShot S3 IS
1/640s f/8.0 at 16.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Qualified. I'd crop this, though, just above that dark line of nothingness, so the horizon falls on the lower line of thirds. There is some interesting texture in the bottom, that adds balance to the lack of texture in the sky, actually making this a good use of BW. However, the bottom half is too heavy and overwhelms. ~ Lonnit
