Gnarly tree just coming into leaf. Posted for the bw-12 challenge.

lovely textures and pov. great in the b/w

[Jerome]

Both versions look very good. But in this case I prefer b&w.

@jesperani Thank you :)

[Richard Brown]

@jerome Thanks Jerome I quite like both but couldn't decide which was best.

@rjb71 For my feeling the composition, the distribution of the masses in the image area, is more gripping in this b&w version. It convinces more.
In addition, the bark structure in the trunk acts more strongly in pure b&w.
Very nice shot.
