...... or just plain not good enough for B&W?  |

I like it. Maybe try one with the saturation so low as to give just a hint of color.

Rather an abundance of mid-tones for b/w conversion Nick and the sheer complexity of the form of trees make them an almost impossible subject when in leaf. It looks a beautifully peaceful place though and I can see why you felt the urge to shoot  |

I am guessing it will be easier on the eye when printed rather than on screen. Nice scene for sure, maybe save it for Autumn.

For me, it is a bit complicated but agree it may be better in print. I would love to see a booming color fall image of this spot.

Might have gone a bit over the top on this edit, but I couldn't find enough contrasting elements in the original to hold me to a focal point. In my edit, I've tried to work the brighter bushes so they stayed in the foreground more.  |

Many thanks to you all, gents. You've basically confirmed what I suspected. In colour it's a pretty picture. In B&W the pretty is exchanged for complexity. Basically the lack of strong form / shape / geometry prevents this from being worthwhile. OK - onward. |
