Aspen in Sage BW repost

A few suggested a repost of this image as BW, so here it is.

I generaly like the result and appreciate the suggestion. The image is part of a large project that will all be presented in color. Now I realize how much I need pro BW software!

I missed the colour version, but I like this alot in B&W. Very nice composition, textures and presentation!.

Sweet shot either way, Dave.

Dave, This looks pretty good. In my opinion, the best B/W software on the market is NIK Silver Effects Pro. I've been using it for a little while now on Bret Edges recommendation from his blog.

Here is a link to a sample webinar on just how great this stuff works:

Hope this helps.

I should also mention this is a plugin for Photoshop CS2, CS3, CS4...supposedly there is a way to make it work in CS5 but I haven't tried it yet.

This type of scene was meant for b&w.
It really illustrates the starkness far better without any color to compete with the shapes.

Dave.....what a beautiful shot... love the beautiful trees against dramatic sky...well seen...

Not sure if I like the cloud. Too much on the right and not enough on the left. Feels too unbalanced for a square comp.

it looks good as a B&W

beautiful light, this is really good in b&w!

Works even better.

Great find, this image definitely works best in B&W.
