    The Tow Path this evening.

    B&W gives it a timeless look but the colors are so sweet.

    Pick one.

    Night and day feeling here MB. The black and white looks depressing whereas the color is alive and vibrant, though I think its saturation is a bit unnatural? Did you shoot this from the DC side? I biked from Carterrock to W Va once, all 53 miles.. incredible views and photo ops.

    Yeah, I'm going to go with the color one. Love the painted look.

    Colour for me! The colour version tells much more of the story than the b&w one, imo. I love the orange pathway leading the eye to the dark pastel greens surrounded by the nice blues. The colour version is very pleasing. i like it.

    No fans of spooky B&W here I guess.

    Well, I like the color a lot too. Actually I think it was even more colorful with the last rays of the sun before it dipped below the cliffs on the Virginia side of the river-the camera can never really catch those fantastic colors.

    This was at about mile 8 of the Tow Path in Maryland.
    No, I DON'T need that.
