How bout a little black and white?
Took 2 of my younger brothers over to the Little Stoney area in the Jefferson National Forest, SW Virginia Thanksgiving morning. It was a great way to spend the morning before eating waaaay to much. Anyway I liked the black and white conversion. What do you guys think?


Comment and suggestions always welcomed!

This rocks!!!!! The tree is a godsend and the leaves plus water fall are wonderful accents. Post it in ESS. Only nit is that it's not mine. :biggrin:

Thomas, I'd agree with Leanne. That tree and the way you composed the shot with it is awesome! It works really well as a black and white.

Thomas this works great!! Doing a B&W conversions is a great idea for shooting in the grey season!!

Nice dynamic composition with the near/far and the tree making the transition.

Agree that b/w is the way to go in the winter, much of the time.
