Gary,
Thanks for the details, but I assure you that there is no digital re-construction of this image. Anyone who knows me, and knows what i do for a living, will tell you that I have a reputation of not using my day job to alter images that I shoot.
I may rotate and crop, but I assure you that as a professional digital artist, and photographer, that I have a very difficult time even using photoshop on any image of mine.
Just on this point alone, I have left digital photography altogether, and have pursued analog film with my photographic career.
The only variable missing from the equation is the angle that my camera was that day on the tripod. Ask anyone I know.. I don't alter my images.
Thanks for your comments.

Great image Shirley!!
I love the soft focus.. takes a the edge off the image, and adds more "kitty" into it. (I'm an owner of 3 cats, so I can say kitty). :)
cheers!

Wow Leo!!!
This image is MASSIVE!
I can not even imagine the view of seeing this in person, and wondering how to capture it in B/W.
The repetition of the shapes, the buildup of the shadows and lines are brilliant! It all works so well with the composition. Unreal, and wonderful!
Another master work from you!
well done Leo! Congrats on the award! Long time coming, and very well deserved!
cheers,

Howdy Hugo,
Thanks again. I honestly understand what you're saying about being able to review some of the b/w images here. When I down converted this image for the site, it lost something. On an interesting note, I printed this twice. One, 6" square, and the other 12" square. The 8" hold the most strength. Seeing it online, has an even weaker power than both prints. Today, I just got a package from B&H.. the new Crane & Co. 'Museo Silver Rag' paper for my Epson R1800. It's been said that this paper is the first time that an inkjet printer passes that of the quality of a lab produced print. Holding the paper now in my hands, and looking at this image on my screen, I can't wait to get home make a 6" print on it. It's like no other paper I've seen before.
If you're interested, I can send you one :)
email me (phil has my email), and tell me where to send it to!
cheers, and thanks again for the very understood "non" review of my image! Appreciate it very much!

Welcome back Hugo!
I can relate to your absence! At least you and I both have our accomplishments to look back on this last year!
I love this photo! It's a strong return from you. The balance of color, while almost Rothko, hold the image together as if twined into the trees.
very well done!
cheers, and hope all is well!

Alex!
I am very flattered!! thank you so much!! I just love being inspired by the masters, and after seeing all of those Weston's at the SFMOMA, I lost my sh!t, and went off in the museum with my camera. I was waiting for security to escort me out, but I ran out of film.
Thanks again! Let's go shooting some time soon! ...i'm on P3, so my time is left to only Sundays. I went out today, and shot a bunch of big rig trucks out by the dump. Now *that* is being bored on a Sunday!
cheers,

Thank you Ron!!
Seriously, I have been so inspired lately by the masters. Using this Hasselblad has schooled me in so many ways with shadow and light. It's amazing to pick up the DSLR after a few rolls of 120 thru the Hass, and have a much more refined eye for what I'm shooting.
For this one, it was all about the shadow. Down to the way I knew I would pull the image out with the developing process. (yea, i've flipped my freakin brain, and love standing in my sink, smelling like stop-bath).
Someday... if I can only find those zones that Adams didn't tell anyone about.. I'll get there!
Cheers, and thanks again! hope you had a good holiday.

f'n unreal amazing!
wow.. instant favorite. feel like I was just thrown to the ground with your composition. The selenium tone is perfect. An un-orthodox crop for you, but done so well!
I'm without words on how well you've lined it up, with the long white lines, her arm, her smoke. f'n awesome.
one of your best. hope you make money from these.

You have a fantastic eye for composition. Very well controlled.
The DoF on this is stunning. I can feel the chill of the room, and the silence of the thought.
Very powerful image. perfect b/w.
