I am stuck in the house today, because of the blizzard conditions here in Ohio. We have a level 3 snow emergency, and not allowed on the roads. I am running out of pictures to post, so I thought I would put up the original of this Orchard Lane black and white. Is it an improvement, the same or not as good? Thanks for your comments and opinions.

Jim, I think each has its own personality. The b/w was more like Twilight Zone. In it the the shadows on the snow from the orchard trees was more malefic and added to a darker mood. The color version shows me the cold and dispair of winter, too, but with that blue sky, there is more of a warmth present and more of a hope to be had. I like them both!

John has hit the Apple on the Head with his comments. I too like them both Jimmyappleseedbob. They have two separate personalities as John suggested which I fear describes you as well. lol. Enjoy you day inside. Sun is shining here. lol

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows. The Ghost
Jim I'm going to be boring and just agree with Tick and John, But their comments say it so well. Sandi♥

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life.
I liked the X-files quality of the first posting Jim and took the liberty of flipping this one into invert mode. The trees look wicked in their negative state! This one feels colder and more distant though which I find interesting. Have a day by the fire. Early evening here in my town in the UK so i've got some mulled wine on the go for when my family are home for dinner. Have a great weekend. TG

as honest as it gets
Just keep it out there, okay?
I like this version better, actually. The trees sort of get "eaten" up in the first black and white and the shadows are more easily seen with the color.

"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
It's already said above. Each image has it's own charm. Therefore I don't like to compare them.
Bad conditions there in Ohio Jim. Enjoy staying inside the house as far as possible.

Life is the pits sometimes, but God and your friends are always there to help you through it.
Cornelius has an excellent point - 'each image has it's own charm.' I like both of them, but if you want an opinion - I personally prefer the B&W version better. This is an excellent photo, though, and the color adds an interesting element to the composition.

God's magnificent creation is full of beauty waiting to be captured - when you think you've seen it all, something you've never seen comes up and amazes you.

Both are great photos But I like the B&W version a little better, I'm Glad you posted them both it's always interesting to me to see examples of how others rework their pictures.Great work Jim.

It's not an improvement. It's not the same. It's not not as good. It's different! I like it but for reasons other than those I liked the B&W version.

I like both versions Jim, but am leaning towards the B & W ... it brought out the mood of the scene ... dark & somewhat foreboding with emphasis on the tree limb shadows. This has more of a cold feel to it. Excellent work.

What a BEAUTIFUL composition! ..I like both shots,but I prefer this one..it's more "friendly"..

I'm leaning towards black and white right now as you might have noticed! So I think I like the BW version better. Just a personal preference, they're both very good. This shot just lends itself to black and white so well and I reckon that's the way you were thinking when you took it? One to frame and put on the wall.

Awesome image, the perspective and composition are great and the shadows are wonderful, very well done.

I like both of them a lot, they both have their own qualities.
If I have to choose, I will go for the B&W.

Tough call. I think in the B&W the shadows on the ground are much more pronounced and interesting, but the color of the sky and clouds certainly adds something. In the end I think the B&W wins by a hair.

"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
I like them both Jim. However in a photo competition I think the B&W version would bring home the prize.

Such a beautifully balanced image with strong lines. Simple yet so very effective.

No need to say thank. Please check out my gallery.
An amazing shot! I can't claim I miss the snow in the least but the picture is very beautiful!
