[Rense Haveman]

Never posted a poll before, very much doubt whether it'll work, but I'll give it a try....

1. The original colour photo, just a little sharpened

2. The enhanced colour version

4. The clickontheB&Wbutton version (so, basically the desaturated version of 1.)

I personally - and I voted - like nr 6 best. Apart from the colour version 2, which I like too, but it's not a candidate for my B&W landscapes book...

 

[Rense Haveman]

Which is, btw, not my original. So I want to thank you again for your critics....

Like number 2 personally I think number six could still do with darkening down on the top half of the water behaves a gradient in Lightroom. Just a tad

Thanks Martin, much appreciated!

2 for me, and I see it has shot into an early lead...

I've got a feeling that this one is gonna help a whole lot in choosing which monochrome is best. Completely in awe for the designer of this poll, who probably thought days on the design....

Definitely number 6

Two and seven Rense, that is what I prefer here and I gave my points. Very nice how you did this though.
