everyone's gone (bw)

please take 5 seconds to view larger and let me know if the colored version works better in your eyes

thanks for your time, greetings, Patrick

 

btw. this pic is part of a series called winter emotions cold and warm , just have a quick look if you (don't) like this one :)

great image, very serene atmosphere

My humble idea is that if the subject is feeling cold and warm together I liked the color one better since it has some yellowish warm colors in it. Otherwise both are beautiful.

Additionally a more careful cut of top of the trees would be better.

Cheers.

Patrick, haha.., it's hard to ignore such a kind and serious (!) question! My serious reacting does start with a small crop of the B&W and next the prefering of the color-version because of the fact The B&W isn't "specially" a B&W shot (!) and missing the essence/power, atmosphere of a balanced/contrasting B&W. The color-version is clearly shot by the working of light and color. Regards, Olaf de Vries. (Geht es heute ohne Winterreiffen?!) :)
