Taken during my one-week trek across the French Alps. After a dreary evening were I could not photograph because the visibility was low due to fog came a morning that was quite spectacular.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

    color works for me, the B&W is good but when up against the color...there is no comparison.....COLOR!

    Color works for me also. The foreground seems a little flat to me, though. Maybe a boost in the curves there might give it extra punch. Beautiful picture.

    Bw
    I'll check the BW box on this one.
    The sky is very dramatic and the variation of tone pulls my eye into the image.

    Love the color as well, but I'm a sucker for dramatic BW landscapes.

    Nice job ... sounds like a great trip! Hope to see more images from it!

    I like the color version more. Overall I think it looks nice.
    On the b/w version, I think if you burn in the sky, it may look more dramatic.

    Very impressive Emmanuel, I prefer the black and white of the two, full of drama and a very strong conversion.

    They're both pretty powerful images, for different reasons...the B/W brings out the ruggedness of the terrain, and the color comes to life with the alpine flora. But if I had to pick one, it'd be the color because of the emphasis on the foreground.

    I enjoy the color because it shows me a contrast between the colorful flora and the stark mountains.
