Have to share my little dog with the big shadow :) (note you can see her reflection in my heater on the upper right)

thank you Linda
Minnie you are the second person who suggested blue...and as I already made it but did not like it as much two recommendations must be considered so Ill show you and hope to hear your thoughts.
McVeed...I couldn't ESCAPE the idea that this image was more of a Canalscape then a Landscape. What drew me to it were the sycamores that hung over the canal white in the right light, which I was actually a bit to early for.

I was shooting a series "from inside/among trees looking out" and was using my Sony DSC828. I had my IR filter with, and with a flip-of-the-switch it becomes an IR camera, so did some IRs from that perspective. The result is, of course in B&W, but very variable in character with pp.
Be sure to check the download; the contrast of the thumbnail sucks, still not optimal in the download, but better!

Thank you for posting, Dave! I sure am enjoying the great variety of subjects and processing this thread has generated. Lots of interest in b&w out there.

This image was conceived in B/W. I often go to this area and look at this little fall after it rains and I loved the way it looked however in color the slight variations in the moss and rocks made the texture hard to see. In this image, I got the result I wanted .

I feel that the blue tint needs to be subtle to give a hint of "cold". In your photo it is too strong and approaches being colorized rather than being tinted.

Thanks so much for joining the thread, Gerald! I hope you get a chance to read some of the discussion and elaborate on any of the information given, if you're interested. Also, feel free to offer comments on other photos in the thread.
Hope you'll check out For Your Consideration further and see if it suits your fancy. You'll find some fellow film users here :)

This was taken in colour, on the Gettysburg battlefield. I had a general thought in mind of processing several of these as more 'antique' style, and this is the first. I am trying out the NIK tools, and this was mostly processed in silver efex pro. A sepia tone is the obvious choice, but I didn't want to go that route just yet...
(edit) Looking at this now, it seems that this is a case where my signature line does not add anything positive to the image! I will have to bear that in mind for future shots of this type...

If I may, where along the Delaware was that taken? It looks like it once was used as part of a canal (tow path) or had a railroad along it's banks.

Thank you so much for posting this image, Phil. I visited various Civil War battlefields many years ago and the history is extremely moving.
Your signature being in color will definitely draw our eye away from the b&w beauty. But along with that, it's been pointed out that if anyone wants to steal your image, they can very easily and quickly remove that kind of copyright/watermark.

yup part of the canal tow path on the PA side in Washington Crossing just steps away from Rt 532 if that helps.
I believe the Railroad ran on the Jersey side. There are still tracks and old rusted out train cars near Lambertville.

Suspicions confirmed, thank you sir!
Where I am in Pike county we have the remnants of the D&H canal system so, that looked similar.
