This monochrome version is equally as effective as the colour. However, monochrome does contribute a more sombre and pensive mood to the scene. It’s not a question of ‘favourites’ as they serve two different emotional functions. You are most fortunate to be able to gain two excellent pictures from the same file. This version speaks of loneliness and self-containment – the ability to be the still-calm centre and self-possessed whilst turmoil surrounds. A very perceptive image.
@clive_crhfoto Thank you for this wonderful comment. You're right, both photos have a different mood. This will make the next couple of edits a bit more difficult.
