B&W definitely is the right choice for this - I don't even need to see the color version to decide. Very well seen.

Jayson - the trees really make the shot. Try this - it happens to be how this shot showed up on my screen: crop it at the bottom so it's just above the top of the hill. What do you think of that? It makes the shot all about the repeating patterns in the trees and removes what, to me, is the distracting ground detail.

Comment by levyj413:
I think this was a bit of a stretch for the challenge, which probably held your score back some. I disagree with Melethia - I would crop out the top cloud. She's right that they provide a nice frame, but I like the composition better with less of them.

But mainly, thanks for posting this. I never got to see it, and this is a gorgeous capture of it. :)
