I agree. By nature I prefer B&W, but realize some scenes lend themselves to color. This is one of them. Nice shot.Quote:

Generally when color is integral color is better. When it isn't and form predominates, I tend to prefer black and white.

I agree with the others Austin, that shot is great.
Much appreciated! I scanned it with an Epson 4990. I may send it out to get drumscanned.Quote:

Can't edit my post, must be too old.
Another from the Redwoods. I was chasing light rays too much. Did my best to reduce contrast but keep the light rays dominant and maintain texture in the trees.
