Fairy Falls Up Close (Color or B&W)
From my visit earlier this month to Fairy Falls. This is just a small portion of the falls.

I also rendered a B&W version and would appreciate if you have any preference.

20D and 17-40 f4L at 24mm
1/6s at f/11.0 iso200

Here is the B&W.

Very nice shot. I think the color one for this perspective, because it helps create the lines of the image, imo. I think a B&W would be great if it had a larger perspective of the falls maybe. I do like B&W waterfall shots.

In this case, I'll go B&W..

On this one I like the color one. Since the green in the 2 corners does a nice job of pulling the viewers eye from top left to bottom rt. Nice job.

I'm a color guy but I'm trying to learn black and white. My novice opinion of the B&W version would be that I see a lot of gray but no real black. In Kevin's photo it seems to me his photo goes all the way from a white to full-on black.
