Suilven

[Donald]

In this thread, I posted the one colour image that I made from my week in the Assynt area of Scotland.

Although I'm pleased with that colour image, what I saw when I came over the crest of the hill and saw the scene were the lines and the shapes and the B & W image that I believed lay within.

Interested to read what you think. Many might suggest that it had to be a colour image. For me it was about the lines and the shapes and the fact that these could be better shown in B & W.

Suilven is a magnificent and iconic mountain. Like others alongside it, it can be seen from miles away from all sides.

This is a beautiful capture. Unlike you, I normally prefer colour, but of the two, this is better im(very and inexpert)o. I have visited Assynt once and loved it and it is on the agenda for a tour of Scotland we hope to make next year - this image just increases the desire to make sure we make it.

Both work for me, my preference normally learns towards color but for this particular image, the way it was captured, color or B & W have equal qualities.

Nice gradual grading of tones from dark bottom to light sky.

Perfection Donald.

[Mike Buckley]

Another terrific one! It's rare when there are so many layers that I have to stop and count them to fully appreciate them. Exceptionally well done!

Gorgeous, Donald. I love the velvety texture of both images. I think the simplicity of this one may win out for me, but it is a hard call.

Another braw image Donald!

Now I do like that Donald. Yep - just scrolled up to have another peek at it and I have not changed my mind.

This is a nice image but I still prefer the colour version. But when there is doubt, I am usually biased toward colour.
