B/W photo

[Tuffdisc]

I did this last year when in my opinion I started to get better, I will have to find the original photo to re-do the post editing of the original file

I just did this crazy more dynamic black and white conversions. I love how the clouds look more punchy

 

[Aeval]

Very nice!

 

[Tuffdisc]

Oops, I meant 2010.

Thanks Aeval

Note to everyone else: I don't mind if you say its horrible (not that I am crying about the lack of response), as long you tell me why it is horrible.

reminds me of a black and white version of the paintings the guy on PBS with the huge afro did back years ago

pics like this to me need to be in color

I feel the same as AA. Some photos lend themselves well to monotones. This one, I think would look much better in colour. It's a nice shot, though. :thumbup

I agree with Mr. Prick

I like the black and white, but the ripples in the water look wrong to me!

 

[Tuffdisc]

Yup....I love b/w no matter the subject...

@HK It was suppose to be part of a panoramic shot that went haywire....but thanks

It seems like it is two pictures

The water and then the land/sky

They just don't work together for me. Maybe they are fighting for attention?

Maybe, but I really do love reflections a lot

i like the clouds in b & w but i think i'd prefer the trees in colour

and is it only me that an see a skull in the clouds?

It's not too shabby. The ripples are not good though. Very few ripples look good on such water when there's wind. Of course, you can't control the wind but these kind of reflective shots look best with still water so that it reflects like a mirror.

 

[Alien Allen]

I think if you removed the bottom half of the water it might look good actually. I think you are trying to get the reflection which is not working for me.

Like I said you could make two very good pictures out of this

IMO

 

[Tuffdisc]

Oh yeah, just saw that skull in the sky

Ok thanks

I disagree with landscapes not being effective in black and white. Just look at some of Ansel Adams' work.

 

[Alien Allen]

I am not against them either

Just in this picture I think it would have been better in color is all

Unless he cropped it

 

[pinkporridge]

have you considered infrared?
