Wonderful interplay of light and shadow with sumptuous detail in all the right places...
I have no idea what the colour version looks like but this B&W just nails all the boxes!

I really miss vistas like these and cannot wait to get back to Africa (South) to drink it all in again!

Post by: 32BT on June 26, 2019, 09:16:16 am: To clarify: I get the impression that this rendition lacks layering for some sense of depth. I don't get the impression that this image is about the graphics, so the question arises what the high contrast is supposed to convey? If it is merely about a faithful reproduction of a sunlit scene, then one naturally wonders what the color version looks like.

I like it a lot. I might burn in the centre bright area just a tad.

Colour version is fine but the B&W wins hands down!
And, so does your original judgement to make a B&W version...
