I like this one very much. The processing is excellent with and almost pencil drawing style. A light vignetting and has a very nice toning effect. Well done. WesternRed.

This works so well in mono. We know what this scene would look like in colour so it gives us a different perspective. Very nice.

The colour version has a lovely "On Golden Pond" appeal but this version works equally well - probably depends what kind of mood you are in!

All doubts washed away for me Sandy, this is definitely the winner, really stunning and well defined by many above as looking more like art than a photograph.
