Sometimes photos work better in black and white than in color. This photo was taken somewhere along the Alaska Railroad during our trip from Denali to Anchorage. The color version wasn’t very memorable. The overcast sky and dark green of the foliage made monochromatic and, frankly, boring.
The black and white version is much better. Highlights in the sky above and the water below and the dark patches of black spruce give the photo a wide range of shades. Also, I think the mountains are much more interesting in black and white. I really like the contrasts between the snow and the exposed portions of the mountains.
