Song of Winter (B&W version)

Hi, I added b&w version of the picture following Pierre 's advice, and I

think I like it better. What do you think, my friends. Please, check both

of them. Thank you, Tamara

Personally, I prefer the yellow version; it's a little less stark, and the snow is more distinguishable.  You might try increasing the brightness / exposure just a tad so that more detail is visible on the birds.

Both versions are very good and lovely. But I prefer the yellow version, looks visually more pleasing to me.

Like Stephen, I prefer the color version.  The warmth of the background contrasts nicely with the snow.  The B&W version feels, well, cold...

That said, both are exquisite.

the image is wonderful, no matter the color

Good!

I really like the format and the B & W processing, this would look fantastic framed and hung. Very well done!

Best Regards

Alf

Both versions works well for me, but with a slight lean to the B/W. Exellent capture Tamara. Regards. Bob

a very balanced and pleasing tableau of birds and botany. it's a great candidate for a bit of texture in the background. also i'd look at dabbling with the curves to bring out more of both the sparrows and to soften the break between the snow and the negative space. great image in either color!
