Thank you very much for your time.

Not bad at all. It works well as a B&W, with strong lines and good contrast. The depth of field looks pretty good. The only thing that bothers me is the sky, in which some areas seem too dark and others too light - did you do any processing to increase the contrast there? If so, try backing off a little. If not, it may be something the camera did in creating the jpg file.

Hi Ken,thanks for your comments. I agree with you regarding the sky. What happened is that i cloned part of the sky cause there was a big part of the sky which was too bright and didn't know how to set only the contrast of the sky and not interfering the rest of the photo. I think the best option next time is to use an ND filter, but still i don't own one )
