Tree black & white (2)

For the current black & white challenge: trees

some hdr on picmonkey added after the conversion to b&w a little contrast; a little HDR " a little color, a little paint, makes a lady what she ain't" - trying to save a somewhat dull image.

Neat b&w image

I am prone to a heavy crop like this, although in this instance, I think I prefer your uncropped version giving the tree space to breathe.

Oh - this is a hard decision. Which is my favourite - 2 or 3 ( and is there a 1?! to make it harder still)? I think I like 3 better where the tree has a background to dominate. :)
