  • Scots wilderness - colour or mono?

    This was shot on my way from Inverness to Skye just over a year ago. Which do you prefer, mono or colour:

    I can't fully decide.
    I do prefer the colour version for the hills but the mono for the sky and foreground.
    Not much help I'm afraid.

      In response to some feedback I have added a bit more mood to the mono version:

        The added contrast did the trick.

          Definitely the mono version ... meaning the later, perked-up version.

                      Well, I nearly always prefer colour for landscapes but in the mono the sky is the predominant feature, it isn't in the colour. So if he sky could be made more dramatic in the colour version then that would have my vote, otherwise I'm undecided.

                        I like them both for different reasons. The b&w accentuates the shapes in the landscape while the color creates a pleasing contrast between the green of the grass and the bluish sky which is then repeated in the reflection in the water. Both are very nice.
