The Mountains are Calling

Couple different viewpoints I've passed many times between Boulder and Golden, CO but never stopped to shoot.

#1

#2

Canyon B&W by matt gates, on Flickr

No 1 for me because of the colour, albeit beautifully muted. The fence in the second gives a great lead in. Stunning scenes.

I like both ... the composition on both is great, colour one is completely lovely, B&W also but maybe the grain is bit too much .. I like grain but on the second one it's really bit too much ..

2 works for me because fence draws you into the pass between the mountains. A version w/ less grain and higher contrast might be something to play around with.

As previously mentioned, both are very nice pictures.

#2 for me. I like the B&W composition. I don't care for the bluish filter effect on #1.

i think both of these could hold their own without the creative editing. gorgeous scenes.
