don't suppose I could get a high resolution version of that could I, would love it in my rotation of backgrounds

Cant see the B&W version, but the colour looks immense. Where was that taken and with what settings?

Unmistakable mountain shape. Etive Mor...

click the image should give you a 1280px sized one

The pic that we can see (half colour/half B&W) is simply stunning!

landscapes not really my thing, one off I think lol

[bramley]

Colour, it's superb!

Colour, by a country-mile !

The contrast on the b+w is nice though, might try using the b+w to control the luminosity of the colour ? Just a thought

Colour one. Can you remove the post on the left?

[Petros]

Definately the colour one, my Nokia also gets the same results

Prefer the B&W one myself, bit more mood.

Not sure how you did your B&W conversion, but I liked it with a Red channel from the channel mixed and a black to white gradient, or maybe even a duotone gradient..

faffed about with the black and white tool in CS3, can't remember settings lol

think it was the red/yellow sliders I played with most

[Podie]

Two votes for the colour one from the Pod & RG household..!

Colour one may even take a bit more saturation..?

B&W is still a cracker, but it's just missing *something* (but damned if I know what!)

I think the foreground is overpowering the mountain

Thats part of the reason i mentioned using the b+w version to drive the luminosity of the colour version. It should stabilise the image and may in-fact draw more attention to the mountain.
(Looks like it would add a fair amount more 'texture' to the foreground also, that may or may not be desirable but a gradient mask would sort that no problems )
