Apologise for this being one day late. My internet connection has been very dodgy. I've chosen this image.....  ..........because it reminds me of classic KODAK B&W TRI-X film pushed to 640 ISO. Technically I love it rawness and the contre jour point of view....and I love the shapes of the dogs and other elements in the image. It's my type of photograph. Good work Rooz!
Regards
Matt. K

Indiddly, a nostalgic shot that reminds me, like Matt, of yesteryear and the wonders of B&W filum.
Just on a side note, if the rear tree was treated to a de-sharpening the whole picture would evolve around the man and his dogs.
Well done Rooz and well picked Matt

Excellent choice Matt, and a great image from Chris.
I liked it when I first saw it, mainly because the dogs look like they would rather be at home in a warm basket!

thanks matt and all; a nice and unexpected surprise. i must say that shooting in mono was nice, took me back 20yrs. scary to even say that out loud. i did however miss the smell of the chemicals, the surpise and the magic of developing film and since that day i have been scouring the net for a nice old film body.
