The other day was cold and overcast with a few snow flurries thrown in as well. I went out with the specific intent to find subjects that would work well in b&w. I thought the weather and the monochromatic lighting would be helpful to this search. Whaddya think?

Your shot is equaled only by your dedication. If your intent was to portray absolute freezing cold you accomplished that in spades. I had to wait a half hour for my monitor to thaw before I could send this.

I love how the triangle of the roof mimics and points towards the triangular mountain. A great POV and the B/W choice is perfect!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for commenting on the mountain shape above the barn roof. I kind of felt the lines there drew the eye up into the mist above the mountain, and you confirmed that it worked! Appreciate the kind words!

Wonderful scene for b&w. I like this a lot!
Thumbnails on UHH are always reduced to 600 pixels wide, Tommy
(unless the original uploaded file is smaller than that) Hot-linked images, such as from flickr, show up as whatever size the OP shares - so they often fill the page.)

I messed around with the Profile Settings on the site and solved the problem! Keep smiling!

I would guess the color image would be nearly B&W.

Yes, the image, with the exception of the trees, was largely monochromatic as you have surmised!

I think B&W was the way to go with this scene. It captures the mood and tone of the day. Well done.
