Here is the color version for comparison:

I know it's meant to be a panorama, and I know it's meant to be dark --- but somehow, for some odd reason, I miss foreground --- and my beloved green . The leaves suggest you had some nice greens there!

i think i will like it better with a tighter crop missing all the rocks at the bottom and maybe lighten the exposure just a tad.

The greens were indeed nice. And I might put up the color version (So that you can see your beloved greens. I know you like them), but for the purpose of the image this had to be b/w.

That would be absolutely terrible. I have tried it and it makes the image loose a lot. It's supposed to be dangerous and unsettling, a deep forest, unknown territory. The rocks and deformed ground at the bottom suggest that there is something ominous about the place. Almost like it's falling apart. I had to leave it. Lighter didn't work either, for the same reasons. Thank you for your comment though!:thumbup:

Then show more of the rocks LOL. I feel that the rocks got cut off too much

I love the darks in this photo, it really adds the texture, mood, and dof. Really interesting and creative keep up the great work.

Thank you.:thumbup: I was going for that darker look. To bright and the leaves just keep pooping up and hurting your eyes

I would of never thought to do a B&W version, and I really like it. The contrast is great!

I would still love to see the original color full sized image for comparison hehe.

Is this a three shot stitch? It looks to me like the left and right one thirds are exposed slightly darker.

It's a crop. The exposure is the same in the whole image.

Wow. I much prefer the color version.

Oh I like it too. It's just that the b/w was necessary to create the original moody forest. Otherwise I'd also go with green

Like the black and white version more myself. The tones really work in it. Having said this, love the greens in the colour version. I guess it depends on what mood you want to go for
