It changes the character quite a lot, but I kind of like it. In color of course it is , well colorful, mainly blues, and some green from the trees in the distance. But by converting to B&W and adding some grain, it becomes more transcendent than scenic.
This was shot using a Fujifilm XT-2; Fujinon 18-55mm zoom.
It feels like you could have opted out of using the grain and tweaked the tones, the rocks on the left look like candidates for changing the black and whites. Nice composition, for me, not sure about the grain. And a wee bit jealous of the person going out on the water...
Thanks, Mike. I do not often add grain, and as I mentioned to Peter below, I will take a second look at that.
HI Peter- much of what I posted on this site is taken with actual film, color and black and white. Thanks for the comments. I will take a look at removing the grain in this shot. This shot was processed using ON1.
Sounds like an interesting place to live. I'll have to come and check out your pictures. The closest I got was the tip of South Australia (near McClaren Vale) looking out at Kangaroo island. I do get to Houston occasionally. I live in southern California.
