    Sitting quietly, doing nothing. Spring comes and the grass grows by itself.

    Just a personal preference thing, I'm sure. I'll go for color. The first one appears more sepia than straight B+W to me. I like the perspective of the shot.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I like the color one best. Reminds me of my youthful days and looking up the tree before climbing on up :D

    The sepia one was an antique light preset on Lightroom that I tweeked a bit. I think I tend to lean towards color myself as well. Thank you.

    Hi, I prefer #1, the lighting on the upper branches is very nice. Any chance of posting a straight B&W for comparison?

    Cheers, Richard.

    How's this work? The exposure may be a bit overcooked in this one.

    Thanks TenThirteen, I'm slowly warming up to b&w. I'm never quite sure if my images hold up under black and white.
