Struggling recently to find some decent light for landscape photography here in North Wales so having a bit of play with a few recent images, mainly looking at mono conversions.

Here's one I shot a few weeks ago in the Lake District, you may have already seen the colour version posted, all C&C appreciated

I really like the conversion, very dramatic and graphic. I might be tempted to shave a tiny bit off the bottom so that the reflections were an exact mirror of the sky.

Cheers, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Maybe I will be in the minority but I prefer the colour version.

I'm going to be contraversial...I actually prefer the B&W version. Amazing shot, it has to be said!

Like the B&W, but would prefer the contrast down a bit and the ground brighter.

Cheers, Tony.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'm by no means an expert in PP or B&W conversion & to be honest this is probably the best I can get from the shot with my limited skills.

For me I think the B&W works a little better, it has a bit more drama which unfortunately the colour version lacks a little due to the subdued/overcast lighting at the time it was shot
