Ha ha - now you've made me wonder...... well Linda I like both!!! - if I have to choose at gun point? - OK let that colour version win.
Anyway - BW represents old, historical atmosphere here because part of the house is in old style, lighthouse as well is old - in colour everything is happy and so nice, aha very good leveling by using HDR.
About BW - we are coming back in time, we step into pioneers days - big difference for me.
I like framing on this work - it says that work and safety message is first, private life in the house is after that on 2nd place - showing only part of it.
Great photo Linda:)

Typowa dla Lodzi architektora tamtych niekoniecznie fajnych czasow.
Podoba mi sie jak wybrales ten konkretnie fragment do obejrzenia przez nas.
Serdecznosci - Tomek:)

Niewiele pozostalo takich miejsc na swiecie, gdzie mozna jechac setki kilometrow i cieszyc sie natura niezmaconej urody.
Swietny nastroj tu panuje.
Sciskam - T:)

No tak Andrzejku... lwie lenistwo nie zna granic, pamietam z moich wizyt w roznych ogrodach zoologicznych takie wlasnie obrazki w zwiazku z tymi milymi kotkami.
Fajnie pokazales temat - lwy spia skutecznie:):):)

Hi Linda:)
That what is more important here - is naturalism of your nice work. Great details, crisp and sharp but light is just delightful!!!
Great for theme!
Cheers - Tom:)

Pieknie pokazane Zosienko!
Sen w sztuce zawsze kojarzy mi sie z miekkoscia obrazu i dlatego Twoja praca tak bardzo mi sie podoba.
Bardzo dobrze oddaje to atmosfere samego snu jak de facto niczym nie zmaconej ciszy relaksujacych chwil.
Swietnie, ze wpadlas na taki pomysl - gratuluje udanej prezentacji tematu i serdecznie pozdrawiam.
Tomek:)

Nawet skubany kwiatek ma kolce.
Pieknie go przedstawilas Basiu:):):)
Podobaje mi sie szczegoly tez - wyraziste zdjecie z piekna glebia ostrosci.
Buziaki - T:)

I love places like this Linda:)
There is also good opportunity for macro shots.
You've managed here great atmosphere - just like should be about swamps - I love BW and composition, very nice work.
Cheers - Tom:)

Hi Scott:)
Nice to see you finally here - no doubt, when we are busy there is no time even for passion like photography - I understand that perfectly when my job and other things are robbing me from my passion to shot pictures...
Nice shot of this lake at the area that I know pretty well... summer is gone quickly again!
All the best for you

Hi Anneke:)
This is fantastic POV - if there is black BG instead of the blue sky it could be like some mask from SF movie.
I like this harmony and great detailing.
Cheers - Tom:)
