    B&W Stream Reflection.

    Wasn't sure on this one with the bland sky. Any critiques are appreciated as always.

    Here is the un-edited color verstion. I think I like it better in color. Good thing RAW saved it.

    I too like the colour version. The green is what does it for me. There is contrast to the picture. In B&W it feels flat.

    Love reflections. I find them hard to achieve correctly.

    These are cottonwoods, right? I have always loved the blackness of their limbs when bare in the winter. The color shot is the best

    Re: B&W Stream Reflection.

    I like the color edit too. It seems when you have that much green and you convert it to B&W you just wind up with too much mid tones. I think you shoud clone the fence post at the bottom though.

    Re: B&W Stream Reflection.

    Thanks for the replys everyone.

    Greg- I agree. In the B&W i did clone the fence post. I got lazy I guess in the color verstion.

    Thanks again,

    I think the color version has more impact. The dark trees and bright green grass is very nice... but yeah, clone out that fence post
