Drain Pipe Continued


This is the version that was not lightened for making the print - despite best efforts to profile monitor and printer and correct screen brightness, the shadows were too deep in the print and I'd added a lightening curve. This is what it was before and is much closer to what I wanted.







And here is what the image looks like in black and white. Now to decide which I prefer. Not easy.

Initial leanings here are in favour of the black&white - it lends itself to pareidolia such as "Death's hood" in the top-right fold and the lower-centred clod of earth becoming a skull. I wouldn't have deduced those from the colour - only by going back after the black&white does that become apparent.

I totally prefer the black and white version. I find the color, particular the green grass, to be very distracting from the overall form. The black and white version is much stronger from that perspective.
