No entry!
This was a gorgeous day, and the sky bright blue, and the reason I took it is because of the fallen tree hanging over the path, like it wanted to block you. I took this with Mono in mind, as in colour it is just boring
but in Mono, it is more foreboding, and you get a sense of how big these trees are
Thanks for looking xxx

They certainly are tall you can see the leaning in effect one gets when taking tall building (it has a name that escapes me)
The mono does work, whether or not it is better I can't say because I have not seen the original - having said that I am in no doubt that the scene was more or less mono anyway even if not B & W and that would lead one to think in mono when taking it.
Well done, am opportunity seen and very well grabbed.

Thanks Jackie, the original is very boring bright blue sky, them grey tree trunks and sandy coloured earth, nothing very exciting I am glad you like it, as I know you prefer your landscapes with colour, but the colour didn't do much in this case XXX

Lovely mono shot MS The fallen tree adds interest to the shot - it does look spooky - great capture!

a nice image. I'd like to see you use some subtle dodging and burning to lift the contrast and features in the forest floor and track to add a little more punch.
