please excuse me, I have a house full of teachers doing a book club (all women), so I got "requested" :oops: to do what ever I wanted to do but do it quietly in the basement.... so here I am:lol: playing with some images (quietly)... think the color or the BW works (if either)

Colour for me too. With a darker sky I would have perhaps chosen B&W.

Colour. The black and white lacks the punch of the colour... perhaps with some more contrast? In the colour picture the mountain really stands out, in the BW it's kind of a flat grey. Or is it gray?

Not enough contrast in tones in the colour version. The trees blend in with the background and the whole bottom third just blendss into one mass of grey. The colour shot is a very nice shot though.

dammit- I'm trying to build up a case for monochrome but i can't the colour verison does look better... the b&b isn't bad its jsut as said above it lacks the 'punch' of the colour. though the snow capped mountain looks quite good :)

Definitely agree with the color on this one. Perhaps adjusting the contrast in the B&W version would help?

thanks for the input eveyone, I'll play around with the B&W as time permits to see if I can get what has been suggested... in case you're curious, I did survive the book club meeting of teachers... I did get some eggnog out of it while I sat in the basement ;)

Colour for me, but with the BW I would try kicking the contrast up a lot more.

I really like the color, for me it looses some of it's depth without it.
