Thought it looked more serene in grayscale.
This is taken with Nikon Coolpix 775!! Waiting on a D70

Great image. B & W works really well for this.

I like it. Has a 3D feel to it that is created by the clouds over the mountains. Beautiful country side.
Photo reminds me a bit of Ansel Adams kind of shots.

Very nice pic but would be interesting to see it in colour as well

Thanks for the comments guys! with a D70 it would have looked better
I actually wished there was a boat there, or a penguin/polar bear or something to give some scale to the scene. The fjord in the picture is huge. kinda like Milford Sound in NZ.

oh yeah,
chris: I'll post the colour version once I get home.
The colour version was abit blue and didn't seem to bring out the detail as much as when I switched over to BW. I found this abit bizarre but anyway see what you guys reckon.

I really like this in B&W, makes the scene feel even colder.
Cheers

I had a look at this photo in Photoshop Elements and made some slight changes to the colour. Is this about right, or is it too green?

The B&W version is certainly the better - has more emotion to it

fozzie: No don't think that's too green. That is certainly an major improvement from the original picture which is way too blue in my opinion.
by the way, what is Photoshop Elements? never heard of it before.

Adobe Photoshop elements is a cut down version of Adobe photoshop at a much cheaper price.

I prefer the B&W version.
Any chance of bumping the contrast just a tad? I'm not seeing a really rish, pure black in this. There's some very close deep greys, but nothing that I'd call full black.

This is the package I purchasd some 10 months ago from InstantIT online for $173 (Incl. GST) + Shipping. I have had a quick look on the internet and this is the only place at the moment I could find it bundled together. Some other people on the forum may know where you can source it if you are interested.

One day I will grow up and get Adobe Photoshop CS 8 for WIN.
