Hmmm, a B&W film has greater contrasts, more details of lights and shadows, it simply feels warmer. To me at least. The shadow play appears so alive then...
Give us then perhaps another story of a tree. To a mathematicician faith means... to know that we must step outside our systems and simply believe some elementary truths that can never be proved.
And as we say so often:
There exists at least one element in the set of mathematicians that has exactly that property!
Wow!

Dear Nick
I canīt say what a real B/W film would have done to this. Maybe it would have made it look more raw and old.
Thank you very much for the story. Every tree has its own story:-)
I didnīt give up my faith- what is that to a mathematician?;-)
Take care,
Annemette

Of course it is beautiful, but still, a real B&W film would have produce something like the attached image. A case of preference of course, which B&W one likes more.
As about the tree, it is indeed a sculpture of nature. But it is not diabolic, the poor being.
The Devil wanted once to make it one of his own alies, but the tree resisted with all its strength. Then the Devil was so angry for not being able to convince it, that it ripped it off the ground and put it back with its crown in the earth again. That's why we see it's roots in the air, telling us: "I didn't gave up my faith!".
Best wishes,
Nick

Just beautiful in B/W, canīt you see that?! I understand why this diabolic tree is a favourite of yours. A sculpturel tree.
Best wishes,

But of course I would jump in there, Annemette! After some meters comes "the wave" and that's jipppiieee!
Thanks a lot for your idea, so let's see. The attached image is converted to B&W in Photoshop Elements. I have the impression that a real B&W film would be better, but what do you think?
As about the tree, it is a "Devil's tree" ("Teufelsbaum" in German). My favorite tree in winter due to its incomparable contours.
Take care and thanks again,
Nick

Dear Nick
A really nice photograph.I like the lines that lead the spectator down to the river as if asking: Will you jump out there with me?
I think that you ought to try and make this one in B/W tones due to the bench and the very beautiful tree on the right. They are very interesting for the image as a whole, and Iīd prefer having them emphasized by removing the colours. Take care,
Annemette
