I like it Bob, especially the top half, where the red and the gray hemispheres are competing for dominance of the sky. Very stark and powerful.

I think it's really neat and you have apparently held exposure in the red channel. Good job and an interesting shot.

Thanks for the nice comments. :smile:

This is my first real attempt at black and white with a little color.

It seems a little big to me. It’s 1024 x 768.
What should the optimal size be?

I love the stark contrast between the bright red and the grey.

Darn I really have to learn to do this.

Tremendous image. Perfect.

Size conventions

Any size will work onthe Cafe, but I usually try to keep my vertical shots 750 or less pixels tall, so the whole thing will fit on most people's monitors. For the horizontal dimension, the forum software will 'temporarily' resize anything wider than 960 pixels to 960 pixels. Then, when you click on it, a new window will open at the full size.
