Hi, sorry to say, but I prefer colour with the correct white balance

Yeah, I realised the WB was wrong too late to change the post.

I've been having a bit of trouble with WB and frost recently. I don't think the first one is miles off, but the second shot is.

This is a bit more realistic.

If I may, the first one is kinda fine with WB, but underexposed.

Dunlin,

In picture# 2 of the leaf, I prefer the B&W for the simplicity of its lines.

PS: In B&W, White Balance doesn't apply, so you don't have to worry about it.

Yeah. The best thing about B&W.

I don't do as much B/W as I'd like to; I'm always trying to do more.
