B&W does it for me. If a ND filter was used, it may have added some color to the color version. The sky just seems too light.
But the B&W version has a very nice range from white to black. Well done.

Thanks...I'll try the ND filter next time...I think I had on a CP turned to nearly the lowest possibility to get some reflections off the water on the beach which may be why the color is so low on everything...It was actually taken before the sun was up over the mountains...It is about the only time that things don't get burned exposier here! After the sun pops up there is not enough range in metering to get good shots that include sky, water, beach and jungle....something witll be to dark or burned out...I'm very open to suggestions as to how to accomplish this! The "eyes" have it !

Dec 07, 2006 10:25 | #18 Colour for me. I feel B&W vs colour is a very personal thing. Generally, I lean toward colour unless the image really benefits from the B&W version. I feel the blue sky and the green trees on the island add a lot to this image. The fact the there isn't a lot of colour doesn't bother me. If fact, I think the subdued colour contributes to the success of the image. The scene is very nicely composed and captured. Canon 5D MII, Canon 1D MK4, Canon EF 24-105 L IS USM, Canon EF 17-40 L USM, Canon EF 300mm f2.8 L IS USM, Canon EF 70-200 F4 IS L, Canon 430EX, 580EX II, Sigma EX 105mm F2.8 DG macro,

dkimages Senior Member  251 posts Joined Oct 2006 Location: Florida More info | Dec 07, 2006 12:44 | #23 I like the color version. Rarely do I like a B/W, unless it has a hint of color added to the focal point. I might have cloned out the little piece of palm frond that is a the top of the print, it isn't silhouetted like the rest of the foreground trees. Just my opinion. Nice shot, I like it. Donna
