Description
Warren Lake again. I thought this was a good candidate for B&W, but I really liked the colors, so I tried an angle gradient on an adjustment layer on top of the B&W layer. Got all that? LOL
I'm out of decent shots from the Mt. Defiance hike, but it's off to Cooper Spur tomorrow, so I should have some more new stuff for you. I hope it doesn't rain.
Thanks for stopping by and any comments.

Its a pleasure to follow your hikes. Love the beauty you have brought to us. Thanks. Aloha
Beautiful landscape, excellent captured. Interesting to see it in two versions. Very well done!
Outstanding scene and the post work made it very interesting. I think I prefer the B/W. The colors are nice but the other has more impact for me.
Very nice...
Interesting work, very relaxing place. PaxSV
Beatuful Capture...
belle vue !! original work !!
You are absolutely right, Dennis. This would make a wonderful B&W. Try a slow animated gif, switching between a high contrast B&W and the beautiful lushness of the deep greens. Or better yet, a Flash fade. Dennis, as you know, there are fantastic photographic opportunities during a rain, especially in an environment like your's. I know you have "the stuff" to take advantage of such conditions, so go get us some extraordinary eyecandy, please. We're counting on you!!
Beautiful lake area. I really like the effect you created.
Very excellent!! Well done!!
I like them both. Don't make me choose! The lake looks very shallow and inviting!
What a beautiful shot of this tranquil lake Dennis. Although I love the colours with the varying greens, I do admit to having a stronger preference to the B&W version - it just seems to be that much more striking to the eye. Excellent capture. xx
Loooks like the paradise of a fisherman. For me better in B&W.
Nope, didn't understand a word of it, but I like the outcome. I like the colored version the most but that is because I'm not a huge fan of B&W.
It's interesting to see the B&W continuing into the color side with the gray scree in the background and the bleached out tree trunks lining the shore! Very clever :) A lovely lake.
Well, this is very different. I like it. And I agree with the others. I love seeing your shots from your hikes. Beautiful country out there.
wonderful shot, colour is good but i like the B/W the most...it has an aura all of its own
I am sitting here smilling. You have given it a try and I am glad. I hope that you will at some point take the plunge so to speak and try creating a complete B/W phtograph. Just remember you want more of an over cast day to be able to achieve all levels or at least most levels of white to black, for right now in this photograph there are still a few too many hot spots. Thank you for sharing. egmont
Nice combination shot.
