Tufa (B&W)

Another from an unprocessed batch from 2006. This shot didn't work in color, but I think it makes the mono conversion quite well. I may decide to crop just a nip more from the right side.

Striking image of the tufa which seem to glow in the image set against the darker nature of the water. I especially like the textural feel that comes through from the tufa, the slight reflective quality of the water and the lighting which brings that mentioned glow to the tufa.

A standout of Mono Lake and must've been frigid out there. What would be your reason for
the right side "nip?"

The scale almost looks like table top photography.

Excellent.

This is so Good ! and the bizarre look to the conversion also plays with and questions the sense of scale. Great image

I've been to this area, and I have to give you credit, this is probably the best shot I've seen
yet.

I think you did an excellent job of planning this and managing your image capture. Framing
and composition are excellent - one could pick nits, but this image is too strong for that. I
can see why you'd thinking about a "nip from the right side". That could work.

This looks like a moderately long exposure, and there's no sign of camera movement - all is
tack sharp, except the water. Did you lock the mirror up?

All in all, a real show stopper. Nice work!
