Horseshoe Bend Noir

Well I haven't had a chance to shoot new stuff yet, but I think I will later this week and into the weekend. Here's another one of Horseshoe Bend, but this time in black and white. I spent a lot of time one because I couldn't quite get what I was after. In the end, I think I'm happy with this, and I'm posting it because I only have 2 days left in my CS3 Photoshop trial. It's a definite upgrade from CS2, but still too much moola for me.

Update 1: This image was selected as a Noteworthy entry for Photo Friday's Travel theme. Thanks to everyone who voted and stopped by!

Update 2: This image was selected as a Noteworthy entry for Photo Friday's Best of 2007 theme. Thanks again for all the great comments and votes. I hope you continue to visit in 2008. Happy New Year everyone!

Update 3: This image was selected for publication in the 2009 B&W Single Image Contest.

  • I'm not surprised you won a Photo Friday noteworthy for this one, and I won't be surprised if you win Best of 2007 too. This is such a beautiful image on so many levels. Glad I finally bumped into it!
