capturing a feeling
As part of my current tree project, I wanted to take photos of a clear cut. When I drive by an area that has been clear cut, I automatically feel my spirits plummet. I wanted to try to capture this feeling, but am not sure if I was successful or not. (I am constantly doubting myself which drives John crazy). The original photo didn't convey this feeling to me, so I tried using some post processing effects...something I don't do very often. Any thoughts? Maybe a stormy sky would help convey the mood better, but I am dealing with fluffy white clouds here....
I always find it interesting to hear what others think about my photos. Sometimes it makes me look at them differently, but most often I am stubborn about what I like best :)

I think that b&w is the way to go. I would try a straight conversion and then play with the curves to get more contrast.
The first photo does it for me. Because it's realistic in color, it puts me right in that spot. And yes, it makes my heart sink as well.
The second and third seem most dramatic to me. The fallen trees in the the foreground seem more noticeable.
I like the "colour" of the bottom one the best :)
Here's my late vote: the B/W image.
