At times I find b&w more compelling than color images...anybody thinks the same way ? shot this 3.5hrs well after sunset under faint moonlight.
Your thoughts appreciated.

I like both black and white and color. I do like this.

Cool shot, Debjit. And yes, I think many of my images work much better as B&W.

It certainly works well here, But I also think that along with the tonal qualities of B & W, your POV and the foreground textures are equal partners in the image. Nicely done. I'd like to know the exposure details on this image.
Very nice! I particularly like the subtle lines running diagonally through the image that helps funnel my eyes up toward Polaris. B&W works beautifully here.

Great leading line and wonderful composition! Love it!
Black and white makes it all the better too!

The BW really makes you wonder what the stuff is? In a color version you might be able to figure it out a little easier. This is if you haven't seen that stuff. Nice work!

Thats pretty darn cool Debjit. I like the placement of the north star (I can imagine the effort that goes into composing that in a long exposure like this)
