I was using live view with monochrome preview to tweak the final composition.
It's a great help on a dull day in the woods.
Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcome.

Lovely shots, Chris. Reminds me of a Robert Frost line.

I like what you are doing here and I, too, have started using this technique to help me assess how well my image is translating into B&W. Thanks for sharing these..

Lovely work, Chris.
They all look good individually and as a series.
These remind me of the first wooded area I looked at closely in Germany: although the trees in the forest were all quite old, they had obviously been planted carefully. Being in Germany, the lines were all straight; the distances between trees were all equal. Order prevailed.
Your Dutch forest doesn't look that well planned, but it sure is more orderly than an old forest in the American northwest

. Our trees don't like to be told where to stand

Thank you Tom.
I guess #1 & 4 are leading somewhere and make them more comfortable to look at.
Nobody wants to get lost in the woods.

Glad you like.

Thank you Charlie.
Those trees have been planted more or less in rows as well. I was shooting with a 105mm lens and tried to make it look less obvious.
Today, in most forests fallen trees will not be removed and nature is allowed to do what she does best:
To grow and create habitats for insects, birds, fungi etc. One day our forests will be very wild.

Glad you like the set.

Chris, I too preferred 1 & 4. The others are a bit static for my taste. I feel like I can just wander into the last image. Also like the use of the lighter tones and that you pulled the blacks up a bit.

Thank you Jacob. Agree, #2 & 3 are static images.
Your thoughts and comments are much appreciated.

For me the whole purpose of a photography is to take one back to a memory of something/someone/some place embedded in their mind. To evoke the feeling one had at a specific point in time. These photos of yours did just that for me. They were realistic enough to take me back to a place and time in my life that has great memories attached.
The composition and entire set up is very well done. In short....your photos of these woods made me feel very good.

Put me down for liking #3 the best.
I like the canopy of leaves on the lower part of the tree. It adds a nice appeal to your image.

Manny thanks Rob for the good words.
I like your thoughts about photography. They make a lot of good sense.
And I'm glad to hear these images have such a big impact on you.

Thank you Tim for the pick.
That canopy of leaves did look very cool (in color) one week before this version.
It probably would have looked even better before that but I wasn't aware of the location.
Glad you like #3.

Chris,
an impressive series
having tried many times, and generally failed, I can really appreciate the skill in composition and processing to make these woodland scenes work.
Favorites? 1,2,3,4 in that order.

Manny thanks Scott.
I think the compression of the 105mm lens and a mid hight point of view did help here to make them work.
All I needed was a forest in appealing B&W condition and soft light.
Glad you like them.
