Cala Mesquida - the path up to the cliffs and forest

Hope you are not getting tired of my vacation / holiday photos.

I thought it was about time I did a monochrome image. This is the path from the beach, leading up to the cliffs and forest. It you follow the path you get to the point where I took image "A Picture Postcard Scene No. 2 - Cala Mesquida, Mallorca, Spain"

I wanted the monochrome more punchy and contrasty, but the tones and light did not quite let me get as harsh in the conversion i wanted to

Nice use of BW on the photo, good shot.

Great effect with the clouds hovering mid sky like that, almost a 3D effect. I think the grasses & small detail shows up really well here.

Great b&w

I think this works well enlarged. It's got a good sense of depth.

I really love this Phil, it has a feel of a black and white Western about it! Great shot, the pov and monochrome really work well to create a stunning shot.

The B&W works so very well here Phil.
