Mangrove tree BW

Matt Tilghman · June 2, 2011

Hey all. This is an old photo, but I've never shown it here before. But my main reason for posting is that I came across it yesterday and thought, hey that might look good in black and white! So the B&W version is new. Thoughts? Preferences?

Btw, that tree is gone now

B/w definitely, but wish you could tame the blown out cloud to the right of tree top. Maybe more work on the base file before conversion? The B/w has more dramatic clouds that create leading lines to the tree, and the water does not read as much of a reflection of the sky with loss of color. Very nice.
