new photos: april 2005--mostly greece Almond Grove, Monastery of Osious Loukas

A color version is also in this portfolio. Which one do you like

better?

I think BW has a little more character

Very nice. The curvy horizon adds interest.

Although I like the color version, this is much better IMO. I love the apparent tilt (I'm sure your camera was level). Toning,compositional balance, lines...all work for me. I haven't decided on the right word to describe the "mood" of this. Whan I do, I'll let you know. For now....I like it!

Peter, Chris, Laurie--thanks for commenting. I agree that this works better in b&w, though I wish the color one worked better. I think I've failed to capture this the was I wanted to! This was shot on an undulating hill and the camera was level--the trees were leaning every which way!
