I can't believe I'm writing this but I prefer this b&w version. I think the light playing on it is more effective here and you're right it really pops on black. I tend to be the opposite to you. I love colour. I don't mind b&w where there is grittiness or a social issue, but for nature I choose colour without thinking, food for thought!
This too is brilliant. I really like how the light makes the bottle appear to be neon. Also a favourite but for me the colour version just pips it at the post!
Great conversion. Inversion can work so nicely to bring out detail in a view that can sometimes hide in a regular view. Silver efex do you use I think I remember? Fav.
Clever clever you - I was thinking that maybe Autumn/Fall leaves would look good in b&w but I couldn't make it happen. Thank you for showing me that it can be done - and done in style - big FAV
I really like how the bottle is emphasized on the black background. It almost seems as if the leaves have more detail here, but the color does too, I guess the b&w makes me notice it more.
Although, I love the gradients the colors become in the b&w processing. Great to see both.
