Some impressions from a recent (dream) trip to Antarctica & Iguazu falls :-)

Beautiful it is! But why all of the pics are black and white? You should upload the original pics here.

What do you mean by original pics? And why?

The first is impressive as is the last one. B&W is well suited for that kind of images and here the PP treatment is fine.

They're all nice, but the first is very special, IMHO.
Black and white is just right for these scenes.

What could colour possibly add? To ##1 and 3, anyway.

#1 and #3 are truly special. I like the way they look similar (water and fog and mist), even though taken in two very different and separated places!

Thanks a lot for your kind words - both places are very special in there own ways and I have been very lucky to visit them - maybe I will add more pictures later on, if it matches there might also be some color present ;-)

The doers are not dreamers.  And you have proof it wasn't a dream trip :P  #3 speaks to me, I've desired to see this location since I've known of it, it also appears difficult to capture if not from the air and you've done quite nicely here.  The B&W treatment is good, I'm also curious about the color.

Can't say you are not right about that  :D

If color or bw fits better might be a matter of taste - for the mountain I like both versions, for the iguazu fall I prefer the bw-version. Now it's your choice :-)

The first one is just wonderful, in both B&W and color. I think I would give a slight nod to B&W, but I would be happy with it either way.

jannatul18 - You really need to get back on the forum and give us some context to this perplexing comment.

Wonderful images, Borgefjell.

Thanks a lot luxborealis! You are right, it would be great if jannatul18 could give some more context to - at first I thought I did miss some rules etc. for this forum, but it seems to be a matter of personal taste/disliking in this case.

I like your user-name btw :-)

Hi ;-)

I prefer the B&W especially of the Iguazu falls which is really great. Thanks for sharing.

Greetings from David

Tremendous especially #1. I prefer the mono version. The detail in the bottom right in the coloured version of #1 is catching my eye a little too much for me, it seems a little more muted in monochrome.

Most are well in B/W.

But I prefer the falls in Color.

Greater Sense of Depth and better details especially in the background.

Have a Nice Day.

I think the b and w works. There's probably not much colour down there anyways. We get a lot of snow where I live and I prefer to see it in Black and White most of the time.

Great shots.

I kind of agree with this.  I think the depth/background works better in colour.  But because the colours on the right are so muted anyway it works well in BW too.
Pick whichever you like; both are great

Maybe I've been concentrating on the foreground too much - I will try to create a second bw version with better background details, guess you are right :)

I tried to achieve some more details in the background . does it work?
