Was there a reason for the mono processing other than you found it more pleasing?

I often think I don't get colours just right and usually experiment with B&W versions. I very rarely go sepia tint though but I was experimenting with LUTs in Photolab and thought it brought out the texture nicely.

The colour version looks like this:

and while nice, I didn't like it as much as the mono.
 
Good take on the theme if that was in our garden it would have a squirrel hanging off it.
 
I’d have definitely used the colour version, the bird feeder becomes the focus of attention and also shows the textures of the wood much more. There it is, different folks etc
 
I like both versions, but would probably have gone with the colour one for the same reason the Allan pointed out.
 
That's just nuts!!!

Colour for me :)
 
Thanks all. It takes all sorts I suppose. I'm half tempted to try doing the whole 52 as mono photos
 
Another vote for colour but as you say it’s just personal preference at end of the day. Whole 52 in mono would be different,
 
Week 2 - Cold

Continuing the mono theme. I could have gone with the colour version and still been able to claim it was mono given the fog.

Hehe. Defo a little on the misty side. Not the most obvious shot for a fog day. A lot would plump for a graveyard!!!:runaway:

Yeah that would have been nice. But I don't see any daylight hours this time of year as they only exist when I'm in the office. Grabbed this quickly as I was dropping the kids at school this morning. Bring on the lighter evenings!!
 
Lovely composition and a very story telling shot.
