Nice! I wish I was there... The B&W captures my imagination more, though I would probably back off on the contrast and explore the tonality a bit more. (But that's just me...)
#2 & #3 are my favs...and simply responding to your question, the color version of the boardwalk scene is my preference. It shows (me) a lot more depth, leading the eyes way back deep into the scene, but that depth doesn't seem to be there or fades / disappears in the B&W version
I also prefer the color version of the boardwalk, though, like Jefenator pointed out, I would play with the tones a little
These are beautiful. I liked #2 and #4 best. My brain did an odd thing on the B&W. The right edge of the boardwalk is a line that continues along the left edge of the (damaged?) tree beyond. This split the image. In fact for a moment I thought it was a poor stitch job. The color version contains enough info for my brain see to the image properly. So, for a brain like mine, the color is better in this case. But in general B&W images of forests usually catch my interest and imagination very well because (I think) much of my earliest work was B&W and full of trees. Thanks for sharing these!
Thanks for all the help. Had some minor surgery so am just getting back into it. Here is another BW version of the trail some adjustments and not tinted. All comments are welcome. Myself prefer the color version. {} trail 2 by bobmadison2005, on Flickr
Thanks Will. Bert thanks I made sure that the end of the boardwalk did not get lost. I think it leads the eye better that way. Bob
Wonderful shots. I love it there. Another few photo stops I really like in that area if you've never been is Mosquito Flats/Rock Creek Lake/Tom's Place and upper McGee creek.
