...and a small melon to round things off:

you got some sweet grain going on,
my favourite shot of the batch are nr 03, simple and nice.
04 are also "up there", the branches bottom left bothers a bit, i would maby clone them out.
you round things off nicely with the melon = )

[MrPumpernickel]

Yeah, I'm a huge proponent of grain and b/w photographs. I know what you mean about the branches bothers a bit, still cloning them out would be aching a bit too close to manipulating the actual contents. I don't like doing that too much. While these shots have been rather strongly manipulated as a picture the details have been kept like they are.

Here are some older shots from this fall, whereas the ones at the start of the thread were shoton a dSLR in color and converted to b/w the following ones were shot on a film SLR on b/w film, developed and copied in a lab at school. There's no measurement on how fun that was to do.

nice use of shape and contrast
