Winter landscape in BW...

[Igor]

The color original didn't look spectacular, but BW conversion looked more interesting IMO.

Actually like them both Igor. Think the clouds look better in the color. Just my opinion

[Igor]

Thanks Rob, glad you liked the original too :)

[Salsa]

Thank you for sharing both:-)I like them both too, Igor!
I think I like the original a bit better.
For me there is more more warmth and depth to the coloured photo and the clouds dont seem as busy as they do in the B/W:-)

I'll go the different route and say I like the B&W better. The lack of color makes you really study the shot, which I think is a good thing. As a color version, it's just kind of ho-hum. But the B&W is cool!

[Igor]

Thanks Sally, thanks Kevin.
Probably a matter of taste :) I prefer the BW for quite unusual look of the things you are used to see in color...

I prefer the colored one, it is very nice. Not a fan of BW.

[Igor]

Thank you Ellen!

Hi Igor,

I like the B&W. Just wondering if it is possible to enhance the contrast a little, the branches are a bit washed out and more like IR effect.

But as Rob said, the sky is awesome in the colour version and works well against the branches.

Thanks Jonathan, I made them soft intentionally, used the PS remove noise filter for this. Then sharpened a bit.....

[Mao]

Undecided! Leaning towards the B&W.

[Bobby]

I think it is the B&W hands down. Love the mood it portrays.

Thanks Mao, thanks Bobby, glad you liked the BW rendering...
