Hi Sarah, Just playing catch up on your portfolio. I like both versions, but I am squarely behind the colour version on this one. That so many people like both is a testament to what a great photo it is. Pete Turner, a photographer famous for his strong use of colour, once said that a great colour photo will often work just as well in black and white. This is a good example of that principle. Cheers.

Great photo - I love landscapes captured as you feel them. This to me gives a great sense of tucking your head away in the dunes on a winter day out of the wind but getting the glowing warmth these days can often provide. Colour is better over B&W - the strong blue as mentioned earlier adds the 3rd element to this composition.

If the grass were sharp, this would be my favorite shot among your last 20 uploads. regards.

Hey. I like it! It made an impact. I have seen similar types of scenes in pics lately, but something about yours stands out and hits me in the face...made me stop and just gaze into it. For one, I like the grass in front blowing slightly. I get a sense of movement, really in the whole thing. I also like how the grass gets equal showing as the sky. Another thing is...I like the simple color scheme and shapes here. When I first looked at it, it reminded me of western Montana...

Another vote for the color version. Love the colors, the composition, and the simplicity.

The colour-version is definitely the best. Having just two elements in a photo, and a composition that is quite simple and static, you'll need a third element to keep the viewers interest for long. Colour is this third element here, and together this image evokes a feeling of air, freedom and, despite the calendar, well, summer....
Lovely!

I looked at both versions... the B&W does have awesome textures.. but I love the colors. It's more calming, flows better. In the B&W, the grass look so harsh.
Color for me :)

This is a nice shot! The grass is striving for the sky, but can never reach it...

Sarah - I looked at both this and the b&w version, think I like this colour one better. To my (untrained) eye the black sky looks too black? Love the composition, especially the l..ong grass.

the grass looks REALLY neat against the november sky! for that reason i prefer the color over the b/w. this is very well seen, i think. don't you just love beach scenes? I'm a beach lover but am land-locked 600 miles inland.

well, I havent seen the BW one yet, but I vote for this one anyway - the colours are what makes it (good, that is!). Blue sky in Wales? in November? wow!
