Swamp trees - color or B&W
p.1 #1Swamp trees - color or B&W
I did a walk around the Wakodahatchee wetlands here in S. FL yesterday with my GFX50 and the 45-100. I was out in late morning, which is not my favorite time to shoot but I came across this grove of swamp trees so I took a stab at them, I like the composition, its textures and contrast range, but I cannot decide if I prefer one over the other, although I seem to be leaning to the monochrome.

For me, I'd pull up the contrast in the B/W to better define the leaves of the small trees.
