Fantastic picture. Love the B&W.

[Kane Arlow]

Wow, wow, this is just amazing. Love the composition and reflections. Fave++

[Sally Ings]

Fantastic! The water is like glass.

[Debs Stott]

Gosh, what an incredible reflection, not a ripple in sight. Do you know, I cannot choose this time! I normally go for b&w but the limited colour palette in the colour one also works so well. So I am on the fence!

[Iris]

I prefer the b/w version - even though the sky is a beautiful blue, there is somehow added dynamic in b/w

[Chris Stapleton]

Super cool B&W fav

[Elizabeth]

The water looks like a mirror! Beautiful reflections and great processing!

[Suse♡]

The colours are so wonderful that I have to prefer that one but the reflections stand out more in monochrome and I love reflections -a tough choice!

[Shanne]

this really works in b&w - but I'm a sucker for b&w

[Pam Knowler]

I think I like the B&W better then the color. Wonderful reflections.

[Rachel]

Stunning! Fav

[Nina Ganci]

Correction! This B&W is outstanding. That is the fun part of this project, I have learned to appreciate b&w, with its many textures and patterns. I never thought reflections could look so great. thanks for the lesson Taffy

[Leon Buijs]

Fabulous reflections, the panorama crop works great here and the b&w really enhances the reflections and smoothness of the water - fav
