Call it "negative space" and a boring sky becomes cool ;).

Color, it adds depth! And it adds, well, as Matt said, color! And interest.

Sometimes low contrast black and white is rather bland for me…Sometimes not. Perhaps a different post processing would give me a reason to choose it instead of color. Just a thought…:)

Thanks for sharing!:)

Frankly, I'm not too keen on either one of them. The color is this sickly yellow, and the BW is flat and underexposed. The composition leaves a bit to be desired as well. I think I would crop the bottom, focus on the branches and move it from being centrally based.

Here's one from last weekend. Saturday evening showed the possibility of storms and I had negotiated with my wonderful partner that I could be free (which meant she would handle the kids' dinner and bedtime solo). I never really saw any storm activity, though I did hear thunder in the distance. Still, at least the mixture of sunshine and rain brought with it a lovely rainbow.

Balmoral Beach (Sydney). Fuji GFX100S, Pentax 645 25mm DA lens.

First hike of 2022, when arriving in the area, a very popular and maybe most beautiful area for visiting the great wall, it started to snow a tiny bit for a while, leaving a thin layer of white over large areas.
even a wrong turn on the way up to the great wall, couldnt make me feel bad after i observed the scenery beneath us. in all my 11 years of hiking on the great wall, this must have been one of the best moods i have ever captured.

all images taken, as usual, with a c645, P65+ and a mix of the contax 35mm and 120mm makro

Wow - simply incredible. The atmosphere is remarkable, perfectly captured and expressed.

I have been to Mesquite Flat Dunes in Death Valley to shoot on 4 different occasions, this is the only time where the sky cooperated. Just a few moments before darkness the sky exploded with color, it was one of those times where I was conflicted on whether to try and capture or just enjoy. By the time it was over and I had packed up my gear it was pretty dark, one thing I have discovered is that for me the dunes can be disorienting, especially at night. Fortunately, I had geotagged my vehicle location and followed that back with no issues.

pair of storcks at winter noon.jpg
moody and foogy late january afternoon near river Rhine: a pair of storcks had decided to stay here for winter - all their colleagues went to Africa in late september instead - hope the winter stays mild and not to frosty and snowy, so that they can find enought food...

Greg, this is incredible. Well done. I can imagine a big print of this hanging on your wall over the sofa!.
