The Past Becomes the Present

[JimFox]

This one is past peak. I edited a color version first, but somehow I got into a more of a high key B&W as I was exploring the patterns more.

Which version do you like best?

B&W - I like the way the high key B&W keeps your focus on the main branches instead of the chaos of the smaller branches.

 

[Ben Egbert]

I suppose a bare tree calls for B&W.

Thanks Alan. I still can't decide as I do like the color version still, but the B&W has a special appeal too.

I had the same thought Ben. But as I mentioned to Alan, I do still like the color version. I think the patterns are strong enough.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

The B&W for me, Jim.

 

[John Holbrook]

I like them both—but the B&W is ”growing” on me!

Thanks Doug!

Ha ha, I am glad you like them both John. I can see the B&W growing on you! I might be in that same camp.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Both are nice and if I had to pick it would be the BW one.

Sorry Jim, but this shot doesn't do it for me either way, too busy and the composition just says, "looking up into some random branches."
