Title: Spring in the Southwest
Post by: maddogmurph on April 23, 2017, 05:21:34 pm

Hard to say... color or B&W?

Both nice. As a stand-alone photo, my preference is the B&W. But he color one says "Spring," which the B&W doesn't.

IMO #1 has a stronger composition.

I'm a mostly color guy, but I really like the BW.

B&W. But they're not quite the same shot, though, are they?

I'd vote for the color version although the B&W is also stunning.

I find the foreground to be much, much more effective in B&W.

Yes, the colour version for me too.

I'll always be a B&W guy when it comes to a shot like this. Bravo!

Both, although Ansel would love your B&W.

Lovely photo! It would work better for me if you cropped some of the foreground away.
