Richard Vanek - Black and White Photography

Yesterday I published image I made Sunday. It is dark image of willow trees in front of small water channel. It is from one roll and hopefully if I survive today (I am rather tired) I will end some more.
There are two versions of this image. The primary and my favorite and this one. I would like to know your view on it and please calibrate your screen a bit ;-) The original is not really that dark.

So the secondary image is here:

"Cinquecento" may also refer to the earlier Fiat 500 or the modern Fiat Nuova 500 as seen in Piazza San Carlo,Turin (Torino) this year summer (2007).

And another view on place I visted this Sunday.
