Sunset over Paimpont Lake

It's all in the title - taken with the Samyang 8mm rectilinear lens which accounts for the slight bow in the horizon... and the leaning tree! This scene said 'moody' as soon as I saw it, so it had to be done in B&W.

Yes, it looks best viewed on black...

This is beautiful! Lovely shimmer from the sun on the lake and I like how the pier draws you out! Fav

[Jo]

This is lovely, I especially like the foreground textures of the stone and grass.

[TR]

I really like this picture, you have a fantastic eye and talent.
I like the 8mm lens too.

[Graeme Stevens]

You may have a fav for this sir. Superb processing.

[Barbara Webb]

Love all the elements in this photo, fav for me!

[Rosie Kerr]

Such a strong line from the pier, pointing to that really great light in the clouds. A lovely, wide-angle, composition, made better by black and white.

[Taffy]

Wonderful b&w with leading line, terrific textures, and great lighting.

[Trinda Love]

wonderful range of tones, I bet the sky was lovely in color also

[Annie D]

beautiful light - beautiful mood - b&w works perfectly

[Joan Robillard]

This is wonderful. You mentioned yesterday that it is interesting the different views that you get from different photographers at the same place. But equally interesting is the different views one photographer can capture of their favorite spots. (and interesting is interesting - thought provoking).

[Myrna O'Hara]

Delightful

[Francoise]

not cozy. Don't know what the temperature might have been, but I feel that I want to curl up in a coat ... or head back home for tea.

[Margo Sayer]

An outing for another lens with promise! Sans pareil...both of you.

[Sebastian Gritt]

Love this in b&w. Works very well.

[Hazel]

I never knew a b&w sunset could look like this - fav!

[David Lee]

really beautiful - fav

[Ian Charters]

This is a beaut - who needs colour? Your low PoV works really well.

[Lilla Turca]

amazing sharpness! fav

[Osia Strasner]

Beautiful scene, and a very effective use of the lens. You are making me want to get that Samyang lens....it's actually quite reasonable, but I am afraid it would gather dust alongside my Lensbaby!
