The sky was blue, the shadows long and the wind was so cold. I thought nature shots could look great in monochrome as the light and shadows give the photos nice contrast. Also the trees are leafless so they are more structured and might look better in a way. I my previous post from this same location the photos are in color. The feeling is so different in these.

Yes, B+W does give them a different feel – I think they’re great pictures! 🙂
I thought I’d try after looking at your BW landscape photos, happy to hear that you liked them
