Another nice one! I like the layers but wishing it were wider...

Here is one from Venice last year. I am not too sure about the high "graininess."

It was taken with a 100mm lens, so not at all wide angle.
Couldn't use a wide angle lens from there as it was from the balcony of the chalet and the foreground wasn't that great.
Have quite a few images of the mountains including some taken with a 10-20, but not converted to b&w yet.

Must admit to not liking grain very much.

I like this image very much. For me the grain works well as part of the overall look of the image. Certainly it has a different feel than the digital esthetic most people are used to seeing these days. That alone make the image stand out. Bravo.

I agree with Ken... I think the graininess adds to the overall atmosphere of the image.

Ken and Westley,

Thank you.

Wow, that is a very intriguing image. The hands seem to materialize out of the background and disappear back into it.
