i like it better in color!!
Posted 51 months ago. ( permalink )

I vote color.

There seems to be three specs in the right upper half of the picture... Water specs on your lense? Or dust or something? They are distracting in this gorgeous landscape.

I love Tuscany...
Posted 51 months ago. ( permalink )

phitar says:

the specks are actually birds in flight. you can distinguish them in the large version but it does take a zoom to see them as birds.

in fact there are 7 black birds and 2 white ones (lower part) but you have to come to my house to see a large print.

amazing!!!!!!!
Posted 51 months ago. ( permalink )

nascity says:

I checked out both photos...and i have to admit that each has its own nice qualities...the B&W shot has many tones to it, which makes it really interesting...and i think in both the sun-rays are the same...while here with the colored version...of-course it is more vibrant and the shadows of the clouds really stand out for me...therefore the winner is this one... =P ...

Nav A. says:

first of all a beautiful photograph... Now was the view exactly like this or did you introduces some of your imagination digitally. (i am sorry if you have discussed this with anyone else... there are way too many comments here for me to read)

secondly, i am beginner... what do say, is the quality of this pic because of the view itself or the camera settings you chose to enhance the view.
Thanks a lot.

phitar says:

there are too many questions for me to answer :-)

first: read 4th comment
second: i guess i can only say you need both. but i am not sure what you mean...

craig_352 says:

Hey cool! At first I thought the row of trees were actually sheep being let away into the distance. OK OK, I know it most obviously isn't but I still that's cool! In my defense it's Friday, it's been a long day and I leave in 25 minutes. Of course I'm now worried I'm see trees that look like sheep.

moufle says:

how could you even ask?! this is magical and its colors are a good bit of the magic. hard to believe such a stunning place is real. and you captured it perfectly. what camera and lens?
Posted 50 months ago. ( permalink )

phitar says:

i am asking because someone wants to make a B&W calendar of my landscapes and they made me doubt. i want color...

that was the 1Ds with 24-70, but it could have been anything, not a very technical photo.
Posted 50 months ago. ( permalink )

moufle says:

thanks for the info! (I think your "not very technical" would be difficult for me, with only two old film cameras and 10 thumbs!)

McF_photo says:

What a gorgeous place. Love the patterns and light beams. I think cropping the bottom fifth out improves it as the bottom area contains no patterns or light shadow. Nicely taken.

idogu says:

wow, what a photo. Well it definitely takes not only a nice landscape but also a very talented photographer!
To your question: definitely prefer to colored version!
