Colorado Trees - (change of title)
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 9 May 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
A second from the archives - it was a very bright day in this Colorado park, but it seemed to work sans color.
Eric, this is funny; I thought it was in Texas, but it is actually in eastern Colorado, about 100 miles east of Pueblo and 50 miles or so west of the Kansas border off Rt. 50.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

Howdy Judy. I like your B&W picture of these beautiful trees in Texas.

@Marion: It was really burned out by the sun, but in B&W it's not too bad.
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Splendid trees and yes sometimes it's better in b&W lol

The high contrast in B&W works fantastically here. Where in TX was this taken?

@Eric Fry: In a deserted campground near a dam, but for the life of me I don't remember where.

The B&W works amazingly well! The majestic trees seem to be on parade!

@Japanalia: I've been answering, replying and posting my new album for hours and hours ... now trying to reply to the AM3 comments.
Thank you for yours.

Very nice b&w. I think the high contrast works well on the trees, but, I would reduce the contrast on the grassy area.

@Jeffster: I tried to burn it, Jeff, but it turned a strange color of gray, so I left it.
Any suggestions?

Nice angle and it looks good in black and white :)

This is a very nice tree row. My first glance said "live oaks," but then I noticed the title and realized this is not live oak country. So whatever kind of trees these are, probably some type of oaks, they sort of fill a similar niche. Great photo!

@Viewfinder: Thank you, VF ... and I do not know what kind of trees they were either.

Excellent framing and perfect for B&W. The line of trees pull the view in. Great shot Judy.

Judy - continuation from previous comment. If you have Photoshop, I would select that area and either use "Levels" to darken the area, or reduce the Contrast and the Brightness. Just a thought.

@Jeffster: I have an older PS program, but don't know it well. I'll have to see if I can find out how to select and darken the areas you mentioned.
