Usually I know it instantly.
I see things in black and white when they “need” to be in black and white. Or at least when I think they “need” to be, since that’s a personal taste matter.
But this particular image was one of those ones of which I wasn’t quite sure. And I do think it works very well in both color and black and white…
D700, ISO200, 1/250 sec @ f/11, Sigma 10-20mm
Same camera settings, converted to black and white in Photoshop with some dodging and burning in the sky
Yes I agree B/W does sit very well with this image I can’t help but wonder what it would look like with a bit of selective B/W. HDR the sky in B/W and leave the stump in colour. Wow it is huge.
