    Would love your feed back on the B&W and which you prefer.

    Hi Brendon - I much prefer the color version. For me, the b&w just doesn't have the same impact and I think the somewhat harsher light is much more apparent in the b&w.

    TFS,

    I prefer the colour version at this stage. What would help the B&W is if the structure of the grass was less apparent.
    I achieve this by dragging the clarity slider way down, but then painting some clarity back in on the subjects...

    Hi Brendon, well I think the OP for me. What I thought was based on the image content & location, perhaps the look & feel should perhaps be in keeping with his words of 'Relentless Enemies' and the 'style' of imagery depicting this location.

    Not saying this is right Brendon and for me a little 'pixel bashed' sadly, but perhaps an alternative twist?

    Still envious of the sighting & good luck.

    I also prefer the color version. I think it has more impact.

    Hi Brendon,

    The color version does it for me as well.
    It might would bring it out more, when you apply a vignette and turn down a bit the grass, as Morkel suggested

    Ciao

    Surely like the colour version Brendon, but must say the Steve's conversion takes it up a notch with lovely tones... Just my 2c worth!
