I might not be impartial but I think the monochrome takes the day here. Beautiful image Tuco.

I agree the monochrome is superb, although the colour rendition of the Portra is very nice. A couple of mine, the first needs a 4x5 to do it properly and the second was taken on a dreary day.

Nice work, Tuco. I too prefer the BW version.
Thank you. I think that it goes to show that sometimes it is probably better to leave a photo a few days and then go back to it as it is one of those that I almost deleted. I will have to see what happens to the film ones, but I have a feeling the camera is not working properly so I am not too confident.
