Unruliest + Repost

This was actually the first of the Unruly Series but I never posted it here because I liked the other two better. Seeing Lorna's excellent flora images made me think I should try it in B&W.

I agree with the person from Alberta; the B&W is like a symphony of form. And Alberta isn't bad either, especially west of Calgary, and then BC becomes even better.

Now stop that!

I can't keep up with this. The color is excellent, but the B & W is superb!

Eirini:

I do like the B&W more than the color version. I know you like your image dark but a little more tonal range in the B&W would be more my taste (a quick check showed that the brightest value is only around the 200 and way down from the max of 255.

Thanks for the input Gary...I don't know if this version fixes the problem?

Well done Eirini! For me it is a beautiful image also in B&W.
Take care.
