A Strange Light + Color Version

by Carol Hyman

Gallery: LandscapePosted May 5, 2014606 views8 comments
Watchman Mountain, Zion National Park, Utah, USA, converted to black and white as seen from from Springdale, Utah. A violent storm was eminent and the sky glowed in an unearthly light. I was glad to do my errands and escape as the large rain drops began to fall.

Aspect ratio: 3:2

I think your B & W processing is very nice and has a lot of contrast and texture to it.
With your description of the scene I would like to see a color version….

I like the energy and drama I'm this scene. I'd love to see that " unearthly light" in a color version. Nice work

Very nice tones and processing in the B&W version Carol. The clouds look just great also. Very nice.

Beautiful composition and drama Carol, the color version is also nice, but I like the B&W a touch better. Very well done.
