Thanks Lydia and James for your excellent comments! Actually the B&W photo was taken from atop a bluff about a mile BEHIND where I took the one along the river. I thought it was an interesting example of the power of focal length. The B&W image was taken at 44mm and the color image was taken at 18mm. Even though I was a mile closer, the mountain looks much farther away simply because of the wide angle. As to why I made the second image black and white, I at first thought this was going to be a nice image with the green trees and the white mountain and some color in the clouds, but when I processed it, it just wasn’t what I was hoping it would be. So I made it B&W.
