Description
We spent a couple of days in Cortez, Colorado and visited Mesa Verde.
Black and white seems to work best for this sort of thing, since in color it's exactly the same, only brown. It's somehow less dramatic in brown.
Meh ... I'll post some of each as I go along and let you decide. :P

It is very nice. 5+!
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
A cool place to visit and a great B/W photo Tara.
super light and shade, a terrific balance
The shadows across the stone is fabulous. And I look at the darkened windows and I see a hundred generations of lives inside there. So many stories could be told of those lives.
On it's own this is a great B&W! BUT! If it weren't Mesa Verdi, I'm not so sure B&W does this justice...I have seen many awesome shots of this! Looking forward to seeing more!
Excellent auntie, I love the light here!
Great balance in this B&W. Well done
Well spotted...
Really striking!
A superb B&W. Love the shadows and your composition. Need to dig into my files from here too. We've got enough pictures for months:)
powerful mood !!!
Excellent choice of color.
Wonderful photo! Splendid capture! :)
I agree this subject was made for B&W It looks even better in zoom.
I keep looking to see if John Wayne is hiding behind some of the rubble, waiting to take down the outlaws. Cool capture
I was there in september. Good choice of B&W
Great pic Hugs Susan
This looks like something on another planet, someplace with less of an atmosphere and a more distant sun (sounds like a rock band, eh?) Beautiful shadowplay, and I look forward to your next installment!
wonderful
I think B&W fits this very well, Tara - although I wouldn't mind seeing it in its natural color. What I'd reall like is seeing it in person.. Wonderful capture, Tara!
Outstanding atmosphere. You can almost see the ghosts of the original inhabitants.
Very dramatic and I think B&W suits it.
Amazing black and white photography!
Looking at this, i think you are right about B/W. This looks fantastic. Love it... actually it could be good for a painting.
Dynamic and interesting effect.
marvellous mood and atmosphere!
The absence of color heightens the emotion. I really, seriously like this! It's quite amazing, quite haunting. Brilliant!
I was going to say it looks best in black and white.. Brings out the details better.. Good one Tara. Rob
Looks haunted like this. Nicely done.
