Stroll in a Storm (Colour Version)

[Morkel Erasmus]

Here's the colour version of my previous post (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/113051-Stroll-in-a-Storm).

Taken on the banks of the Chobe river in Botswana, from a specialised photographic boat.


Techs:
Nikon D800
Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR-II @ 155mm
f4.0 | 1/500 SS | ISO-500

I like this picture. I do like the B/W version better. In the color version the green leaves in his mouth and the light on his back really shows. In b/w I think there is a more dramatic feeling, and background does better.
Just my view.

Hi Morkel - I also prefer the b&w version. For me it just has more drama than the color version.

TFS,

Beautiful shot with great colors. I like the composition. It is great to see mammal shots that also show the habitat around them.
Also like the B&W version.

Thanks guys. I too prefer the monochrome to this one...though I like the colours here.

Mono outstrips the colour Morkel, it's the way to go on this image. :wave:

[Brendon Cremer]

Morkel this is nice but the Mono just takes it that step further:5

another vote for B&W. The B&W version really tells the story of the impending cloud. The color version is nice, but it doesn't quite tell the story. Loi

Hi Morkel, love the blues in the storm clouds...heading over to the B&W version now.

[Anette Mossbacher]

Vote for B&W :bg3:

[Andrew Merwin]

I too prefer the monochrome version. It's moodier. TFS both images.
