Black and White: III (The Depot)

Rendered in black and white, this becomes rather timeless, and season-less. Are those the pink cherry blossoms, or fall leaves?
Ah, fall leaves. Sometimes the photo just needs color to define it.

Love the composition of this shot -- the way the tree slopes downward and leads your eye into the shot. It's amazing what a different look the black and white gives it, too.

I agree, I think the color version is much better, and tells more of teh story. I really like your comparisons lately. So fun!!

You are so right, in B&W you totally can't tell which decade the photo was taken. Love what you're doing with B&Ws this week! The bronze on that fall foliage is incredible, and your water droplets are stellar (as usual)!

You're right. . . seasonless! If only we could manipulate the seasons so easily. . . . .
