Against
« on: April 17, 2011, 12:51:54 pm »

As I'm looking over older pictures I found this one. Worked a little on it but I'm still not sure. So I'm curious if anybody feels anything about it.
Both bw and color versions.

Really like the color version!

I think that b&w could work too, providing a bit different processing... something more dramatic, with different filtration, to separate oranges and blues... the beauty of the orange reflection seems lost in the b&w.

I would go for an 8x10 ratio crop, which wood put more emphasis on the branch and get rid of the upper part, where there isn't much new going on. And once in the cropping mode, I would experiment a bit with crop rotation, so that the branch is more dynamically positioned, not so upright.

But all in all, a very good shot.

Rather to my surprise, I find myself agreeing with Slobodan.

Hmm, I think I'd better rephrase that.

Rather to my surprise (I'm a great fan of b&w), I find that I too prefer the colour version. The subtle colours are very pleasing. Good shot.

I agree.  The colour version has some good potential, but the B&W needs more work.

Taken last weekend - how similarly we must have been thinking and seeing?
