Whenever you have difficulty deciding, the answer is black and white.

Colour for me too, please

I think I'm the opposite here. I'd prefer the B&W - but only if the contrast was raised to show some true blacks and pure whites. The abstract shapes stand alone for making a good large image. I'd personally make it very abstract looking where the viewer would have to examine the image for a few minutes to realize that there's a road going through it. The lack of contrast makes it very flat and lacking. However, I feel the color version is very blasé, almost like everybody's shots of Alabama Hills.

Color for me too. Very subtle colors there that work well.

Apologies, I just re-read what I wrote and I didn't mean to sound short. I used to judge quite a few competitions and the habit of "short and sweet" got engrained in my explanations...
I hope you don't mind, I did a rough, quick crop & edit to better illustrate my thoughts ("a picture is worth 1000 words"):

You did not sound short in the least, I appreciate the feedback! I love what you did with the image! I struggle to some degree with all aspects of photography, but especially black and white conversions. Thanks for taking the time!

I've been enjoying the GFX system for a couple of years now – first with the 50R and now the 50S II – and lately I'm trying to get back into what I really want to shoot. Which is abstract patterns, shapes and general "ugly" stuff that can be found everywhere, and that most people don't notice, but still can make nice images. Here are two recent ones; the first is with the GF 35-70 and the second with the GF 50/3.5...

Edit: The downscaling algorithm on this site doesn't seem to be the best. A ton of "square" artefacts appears that are not visible when I view the images on Flickr.

Just a touch of snow this morning - I'd have liked more, so I'll have to return to this tree when real winter arrives!

I use 2.0.Does anyone know what the maximum upload size for images is? I tried to directly upload an image at ~2.5 meg and 2048 pixels wide, but it was too large.
Good luck!
