I like the brightened photo and the original the best. It was hard to pick just one. 😃

Thanks Nichole! Interesting to get some feedback on this. I think my favorite it actually the bottom one, but just loved how this photo came out for some reason!

I like the last one best and the regular black and white second. In the colour versions I find the foreground distracts a little from the tree whereas in monochrome the tree is the only star!

I think the bottom one is my favorite. And thanks for your perspective! That makes me look at it differently too! 😊

I’m going through a monochrome phase lately so I have to say that the two monochrome photos are my favorites.
