Very nice shot leo..

I'm having a hard time deciding between the two but I think I'm slightly favoring the color version.. Both are very nice though but the blue sky in the background adds something to the shot for me.

Hey Leo,

Actually I like them both. I guess it really depends on the mood your going for. :o)

Yea, I can see why your having a hard time choosing. They are both great on their own, but I think the b&w has more depth and texture. It's a subtle thing though, and would depend on what purpose you may want to use them for.

Thanks Steve, I cant decide which Ilike better either

Cheers

Warren,

Ahhh, you caught the moon in there. I had a hard time getting it just right, it was either behind one of the branches, or the background or foreground had something distractin in it.

Thanks for the input.

Cheers

I tend to like the b & W best. More of a stark look but I do like
the color one also especially how the color of the sky changes
(plus the small moon)

I like them both, but I would give the nod to the color version since it was such an excellent exposure. The partial moon was a great addition too.

Nicely done!!!!!!!!!!

I think that the b&w version is far better than the color one. The black to gray tones let one concentrate on the subject more than the strong blue background. The b&w one looks almost three dimensional. The tree trunk jumps out of the shot. Very nice!

Hi Leo,

I like them both very much......and as others have said, they both work well depending on what you're after.

But.....I have a strong preference for the color version. The blue brings out the foreground earth tones, and I think the moon is more effective in the color shot.

Best wishes,

David

Leo,

I like the sky color, but even more like the stark mood of the B&W.

However, if you are seeking comments, I personally might prefer a bit of tweaking to lighten the highlights in the tree and give it a little more "punch". Did you convert to B&W with the Photoshop channel mixer? Maybe use a tiny bit more of the red channel? But this is just my personal preference - your's is one that counts!

I think they both look great. And isn't it wonderful to be able to have both! The B&W is really impressive and projects more a sense of isolation, at least to me. Wonder how it would look with just a little tone? I love that blue sky, though. And the moon does show up better in the color one.

Best regards and Peace to you,
Alan

Alan,

Thanks, I am going to play around with the toning, maybe sepia or solenium type or something.

Cheers
