At The End (B&W)
I have the color version posted over at NPN right now, and wnated some feed back as well on the B&W version.

Your thoughts?

4x5, 300mm, Fuji Provia 100F, B&W via Channel Mixer.

Youssef, it looks really good to me. The composition and backdrop work excellent IMO. However, I have to be real honest, I have never worked with any B&W film or digital conversions. So, if there are technical items to improve upon here we will need to see if others might have any ideas.

Youssef, I like the BW version but I feel the color version is a stroner image, there's more "detail" to view in the color image, the yellow of the leaves against the blue-toned rock face and so on. :toast:

I agree with Reno on this one. Although this shot is nice, the color version really tells the story more and draws me in. I find it more interesting.

Youssef, this image would still look good if you threw a shoe at it! While I was impressed with the color version, this works well. Your capture and control of the tonalities is excellent.

I am a big B&W fan, but I find I like the color version better. It conveys the end of the season feeling better for me.
