Burgess Falls B&W
It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I've enjoyed seeing your work. I've been experimenting lately with black and white conversions on some of my pics. This pic is of Burgess Falls in Tennessee that I took a couple of years ago. With the dead trees and bland canyon walls, the color version of this was kind of boring. What do you think of the BW version?

Canon 20D ISO 100
17-40 @ 21mm
1/13 sec @ f/14; -2/3 EV

Hey Bryan nice to see you again. I was beginning to wonder about you. I like it, good conversion and a cool waterfall.

I've got a dozen different shots of Burgess Falls and your right, they're all kind of boring. I really like your BW version. Makes me think I should go back and give these old photos a second look. Thanks for posting.
