landscapes - monochromatic Untitled

I absolutely love the way that this converted to BW. The contrast of the tree against the darker trees in the background is stunning. Would love to see the original in color.

many thanks for your favourable comment :-) - here's the colour version attached - in this case it is to me less interesting than the B/W version. The postprocessing I applied was aimed at creating a B/W version and here I just removed the final steps of converting to B/W and toning.

cheers, Wolfgang

Very nice work, Wolfgang!

Great conversion.  Oddly enough, what really intrigues me is those swirling lines at the top (the trees and rock face.)  The tones and textures in the swirls have a mezmerizing Van Gough-like quality to them.

Thanks for posting the color version Wolfgang. I like that to but I agree with you that the bw version is the way to go with this photo. Very nice work. I generally have trouble seeing such bright colors and thinking in terms of BW so seeing this as an example will certainly make me think differently when I view my own pictures in the future.

Hi, Wolfgang!

Congrats for such WELL DONE post-processing; it's just amazing...!

Thanks for sharing.

Best wishes,

Ramon.

Very great bw picture
