Thank you for these beautiful images. I doubt the originals can be improved upon as either colour or B/W. But here is my play with the first of the photographs. Almost desaturated - just a hint of colour.
Another variation! There are many subtle possibilities for an image like this.
In GIMP. A blue colour cast whilst not completely eliminating colour and high-key.
A little smudge and foliage(6) on the right?
Looks great! Even recovered the brownish leaves that still hang there.
Yep. And now that you mention, I think there’s also a dust spot there on the right… have to check my camera/lens
The extra contrast suits it well, makes the tilled earth much nicer, specially as it fades into nothingness in the distance.
Nice, not far from reality except it was a little more blue.
I really like the colours here, well done!
I like how since the image is so flat, people are coming up with all kinds of interesting grades, really nice.
I must stop - this first image is triggering too many ideas and I haven’t even considered the other photos yet!
