Couple from the banks of the River Etive taken on saturday

 

[Darren Turner]

nice couple of shots, i love how the river leads your eye right to the base of the snow capped mountain in the distance

Great Wok

[Chris Dodkin]

Looks mighty chilly Allan!

That second one has great texture in the rocks and great form in the tree - makes a super B&W

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I love the colours of the rocks in the second - kinda lost in the BW version

 

[Allan Batchelor]

Ye Rob I know what you mean. Thats kinda how I kept it colour as think it takes something from the scene but yes Chjris I did try b&w

And thank you guys for comments

the advantage of the black and white is that it corrects for the purple fringing along the edges of branches with highlight backdrops ...
Not that this is your fault, just an issue of shooting in this sort of situation ...
my response to this is always to covert to b&w ... or tinker with the corrective features in lr

"purple fringing along the edges of branches" - never noticed that....still don't... My eye is not so developed.

 

[Allan Batchelor]

I see where yer coming from now hamish that I look bit closer

 

[Brian Moore]

Very nice shots the two of them.

I like what Chris did with the BW version of # two,...but I agree wi' Rob about the color of the rocks. However, I think both the color and the BW versions can and should stand as two distinct images--no need to pick one.
