Mongo very much likes these monos Aguinaldo.

#1 has a nice balance of light and shade but it is the wide spreading and stretching expanse of the tree that gives it a wonderful depth

#2  Mongo likes the varying almost silver light on the slate roof against a solidly imposing dark building which is finessed by spires and timber lacework.

#3 has the most superb textured ground made so by its undulations and a low shadowy sun. The textured sky is also hard to miss. Lastly, it is hard not to notice what appears to be a juxtaposition of "field-like" grounds with a city/sky scraper background

As a general observation of these monos, it is very nice and pleasing to see them solidly black with gradual tones and you have not fallen victim to make them "lighter". Nice work

forgot to mention that #3 is Mongo's favourite

I reay dig the third image, top notch.  Lots of interesting things to look at and well composed.

I really like #1 and #3.
Nice dark texture, especially on picture #3.

If I may ask: Which 18 mm lens did you use?

Thank you so much for this elaborated comment Mongo.
It is so difficult for me to express myself in words and this, plus the language barrier, makes me hard to make useful comments like this on the posts in this forum.

I also really appreciate the comments by Tristin, Jacques and Danulon.
Thank you so much.
I used the Zeiss 18mm f/3.5 Distagon.
