A walk in the park

[Craig]

Something that I really don't do as often as I should, scenic or landscape shots.
This is a shot I took last year during the snow storm we had.
Getting up at 6am to make sure the snow was not walked on was a venture lol

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......that fills me with shivers!

 

Great picture Craig, 

[JohnP]

Nice capture... you got the white balance spot on... no grey snow here. Glad you didn't convert to mono, that would have ruined the image as far as I'm concerned.

[Korky]

A very nice image - lovely, crispy snow all pure and new and waiting to be turned to slush by kids and dogs and bikes.

 

Would look great in black and white!

Natural selective colour

like it

[Craig]

I did look at a mono conversion but personally I liked the colour option better.
What do you guys think?
Here is the mono conversion.

Nah... I hate B&W.

Colour Colour Colour Colour Colour Colour Colour Colour

I like colour

[Craig]

I prefer the colour option too

mind you I'm certainly no expert in landscapes or scenic photography, so maybe another fellow forum member could do a better conversion than I?

Colour....for this one for me...

[fuzzyedges]

You would need to alter your profile to allow others to meddle with your image

Selected is image NO

People on here respect that if it says NO we dont

[Craig]

ill change it now

[ChrisLumix]

I do like B&W work, and also the occasional 'selective colour' shot. But here you have the best of both worlds - a scene that though in colour, is almost B&W except for the street lamp and its reflection. I love it as it is, & don't care half as much for the mono conversion.

I was only teasing John P with my comment - the colour version works very well indeed.

 

But now that I've seen the B&W..............

Really nice. I like the colour one too

I guessed you were winding me up a bit Korky!  I've no idea why but I can't stand B&W, I'm so thankful I don't see the world in B&W and I can see no point whatsoever in converting any colour shot... the more colour the better as far as I'm concerned. Some people love B&W and I respect that.

[bugmeister]

Colour for me as well, and it's a cracking shot

[Kobione]

Colour for me too, Craig, although the mono is still nice.
