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.![]()
Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
I also prefer the color version. I think it has more impact.

Thanks very much all. Steve i like, will work on a few options and see how it goes. Will let you know how chitabe goes and im sure will have an image or 2 to post when im back.
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!![]()
