Angel's feather(large view)

Yesterday in a short trip I had some splendid moment for few minutes with this clouds,I wasn't decided what version to upload here so I show also the color version,that green was splendid in contrast with a September blue sky and a so large landscape to see,hope you like this.

Hello Radu, They are both beautiful. The sky is outstanding in both images but I lean towards the color version, a little. The light on the trees in the FG is also very eye-catching. Very nice capture Radu. Take care.

BR,

I am a fan of color and clouded skies.Here,I think the color version further enhances the vastness of this impressive landscape.Proper title as this feather really stands out in the clouded cover.Excellent image!

Thank you Holger and Laurent,yes color version is with more visual impact I think,especially that day moment with this light and sky,this green was exactly so incredible vivid even if 25km out from mountain area all is dry from a very hot and no rain summer.Usually with September the sky color is changing and became a nice clear blue and this types of clouds comes too,in summer time there are no such a phenomenons.

i prefer the bw, very nice landscape and composition

I really like the B&W version. You have managed to keep a wide range of tones. A very attractive image. Regards, Jean-Marc

Radu,

  They are both beautiful scene's.  The colors & details are stunning.  Take care, Patsy

Really beautiful work, Radu! I like the colored version...

The problem is posed by that unusual "angel's feather" cloud; it adds a mysterious element to the picture and really engages the viewer's attention. It seems much more central in the b&w version so if your intention is to focus our perception on the odd presence of the cloud then that's the better choice. The scenic effect is somewhat diminished, though as the background mountains tend to blend into the foreground forest.

The color version is preferable if you are after a true landscape shot. The "feather" doesn't have quite the impact there but still can't help but snag our attention..

Nice the colored version but the B/W is really wonderful!

Beautiful both color and B&w versions. B&W version is more mysterious to me.

Great landscape with such  nice details. The b/w variant is more intriguing indeed. The faling feather fits well into the composition.

All my best to you.

I definately choose the colored version.
It is a beautiful landscape, and I feel sucked into it when I see the clear and crisp colors. I don't get the same feeling in B/W- version.

Best regards

Both presented work is interesting... Personally prefer it in colors...

You know you have a good image when you can go either B&W or color successfully.   Though I usually prefer color, I like the B&W version because it makes the cloud more pronounced, and it's so unusual that I think it deserves to be the center of attention. 

Radu,  What a beautiful name for this shot.  The color one is my favorite. Beautiful scene and amazing sky. The B&W does bring out the Angel feather much better and shows it delicate beauty.  Best Regards,  Sherry

excellent...

Wow, excellent, bravo !
