Great b/w well contrasted for this splendid image.
I like the detail of the trees, that ceiling of branches on the road and the combination of light and shadows.
Very good.

love everything about this imagine - but mostly, I think it is the b&w that makes it so wonderful

What a lovely intense image . . the trees each seem to have a character like they enjoy being there together in that strong light. Your processing has hit the perfect spot on the drama scale here.

The b/w really brings out the texture in the trees. Excellent processing.

What an absolutely gorgeous view. I've never been to Kentucky but this is just how I picture it.

@Suzanne: thx! Suzanne. I happen to live smack in the middle of a postcard area so that's my view, though hardly one representative of the entire State.
Chris Parr from Jefferson City, United States
Perfect light, shadow, perspective...all of it. This is a masterpiece.

@john4jack: thx! there is very little Lightroom post processing in this one: desaturation, tone curve adjustments to bump the contrast, output for screen sharpening. I attribute most of it to the glass, and exposing to the right.
@blackivory: thx! nice work in your portfolio!

Marvelous. I like how the light here is so much like the light through windows on your table -- same quality and angle, and you excel at that.
