Gloomy Forest

[Canyon Hiker]

I have been doing a lot of shooting in the fog lately. This is part of the forest that was burned a few years ago and the re-growth is just starting to appear. Not sure on this one. B&W or Color? Whats your thoughts?

As always thanks in advance!

Both options look good to me and hard to pick one as winner. If you go for color adding a bit more "warmth" might improve it, and on the B&W try tweaking it a bit to increase the mood playing with shadows, highlights etc.
I know is hard to keep or display a leveled horizon in these do to the terrain but I think they are a little tilted down to the right I guess.

colour for me. Also, if you crop a tiny bit off the top to remove that over exposed spot, i think it strengthens the photo.

Rob and Liban, Thanks for the input. I will have to work with this one a little more. The distortion in the original Raw shot was terrible. The picture below is the original raw shot converted to JPEG.
