After the Burn by aikiuser

After the Burn

Hauntingly beautiful in color, I thought I'd give this a go in b/w due to it being Flash of Red February. Not sure I'm entirely satisfied with it, but I did mention to a certain someone that her "just post and move along" mantra was one I should probably adopt. ...or at least be much more mindful of.

Thank you for all your wonderful comments and favs on my forays into the world of monochrome landscapes this week. And most especially, thank you for the inspiration you provide to continue muddling along! Peace
This looks hauntingly beautiful in black and white. Maybe some day you post the colored version as well.
I like the perspective and the hazy top.
It it is a beautiful sad photograph.
And looks awesome on dark mode. I'd frame this one in a wide dark frame.

The thumbnails in the 'View this month' section look so gorgeous. All black and white, with a splash of blue and a tiny washed speck of yellow.

Such a stark and haunting image

It’s very evocative in black and white. Almost melancholy. The haze really adds to the mood.
As a teenager I drove through a forest where there had been a massive fire only months before. I’ve never forgotten what it felt like.

What a mix of burned trees and live ones. great composition with the hill, gives it much depth.

Excellent! Love the black and white.

I like the strong verticals and the mist.

I always think of my project as a long line through time. Some days are good, some days are bad, and some days you're just joining up the line - and that's OK. :)

This is gorgeous in B&W but I do know what you mean when a shot loses something without the colour.
I posted one of my shots in B&W and then later in colour (mostly because I had nothing else to post) to show the colour version as well.

I love all the shades of gray, the mist, oh heck - just everything about this! :)

I think it's beautiful in b&w.

perfectly composed, heavenly and fab contrasts in b&w,

It is so interesting to see all the different colours of grey here!

I love them. Great aerial perspective.

It's beautiful and sad

Hopefully the burn will make them stronger. Beautiful shot. Would like to see the colour version too.

This is very nice in b&w. Love the texture on the bare trunks.

Great capture. Works very well in the b&w.
February 6th, 2021  
Very striking with the great tonal range

It's interesting to see the trunks with nubs where the branches used to be. I like the bit of mist floating through the image a well.

A super strong image; those very white and very black trunks are amazingly captured.

Interesting

I like all the strong verticals

Maybe just a touch more contrast on the trees? But I think it looks great as is!
