The upland forests in the Jocassee Valley area are truly beautiful. I know some like color images of forests but for me, at this moment, the tones and shapes are brought out better in black and white, though this could change at any time.

Awesome study of nature’s random plan.
I prefer color when shooting wooded areas
I agree about the monochrome, CP. Nicely done.
Thanks!
