Colour or b&w??

    Taken in the Dingle countryside. Do people like the colour or B&W version better? Also is there anything I could do in Photoshop to the colour version to make the sky look a bit better? Thanks :)

    B&W:

    I prefer the b&w – the colour one is too drab due to the bad light, however you have lost detail in the clouds.

    Have a play with the channel mixer on the original – set to monochrome – in PS to get the right tones and contrast.

    Mono for me, but needs a lift with Levels/Curves. Maybe even use the dodge tool to brush the sky whiter

    I am gonna be different and say colour, but needs a bit of adjusting,
    the greens look strange, but there seems to be more detail in it.

    Colour for me; but you could try a graduated filter over the clouds — don’t over, just darken them a bit.

    Colour for me.

    Nicely balanced composition there. The colour looks fine to me, but I would say it doesn’t quite look sharp. Perhaps its just the processing.

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys, Il have a play around with it over the weekend and see what I can do.

    B&W for me, it just seems to add more drama to the shot.

    colour. the structures in your b&w conversion are not very eyecatching, the colour is eyecatching.

    Maybe try another B&W conversion..that can change everything. cheers Madeleine
