Yes - it was a quick & dirty effort - I just blended a couple of Silver
EFex presets via Photoshop layers.  When I get a bit more time, I'll
spend some more time on it.

I missed this post until now.  I quite like the monochrome version. I 
don't think you've perfected the processing of it, and I don't know how 
to do the final polish on it, but for me, it has a lot more texture and 
interesting details.

[Brian Walters]

Thanks for the comment, Igor (and Alan, Dan, Rick, Ann, Gonz).

I wonder whether others might have had the same reaction if I'd posted
the B version first. I hadn't considered a monochrome version until
Larry suggested it.  I have to say it worked better than I thought it
would - but I still prefer the colour version slightly.


Cheers

Brian

Color.  It conveys the mood better.

Re: Storm over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel - Monochrome Version

[ann sanfedele]

what Rick said - the color of the clouds (I've seen that color) is 
important to the story...


The blackand white is equally nice to look at, but if you care about the 
subject matter and portraying the feeling of the moment, the color does 
it

Re: Storm over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel - Monochrome Version

[Igor PDML-StR]

Brian,

I like the B version much better.

I hadn't seen the original thread until just now, while writing this 
message. So, I saw the B version first.
I even thought that the "original" was actually a dirivative - colored 
with a "creative" filter, and went back to reread your message to verify 
that I understood it correctly.

(I admit, it was before 8am, so, I was still waking up.)

B is more interesting, more dramatic.
I wanted to see it on a larger scale. So, I zoomed in using the browser.
At that scale, the colored version is fine, and it can stand on its own. 
And it delivers a different mood.

But I still prefer the B version.

(And I just thought that the dramatism of the B version reminds me of 
one of the B storm images of Dan Matyola. [You know that guy, don't ya? ;-) ])

The B seems to bring out more detail, especially in the dark upper clouds.
