I found this house on what passes for a mountain around here. In Canada it would likely be called a hill at best I think.
However, I went up there in inclement weather one day to see if the rain and clouds presented any opportunities for me, and saw this house with the mist in the trees behind it.
The colour version is ok but very green so I decided a monotone might be better.

Not sure if the contrasts in this photo really lend it to being a good monotone or not?
Also, which is better in this case? The Sepia or the Black and White?
Any other critiques are welcome.

As an added point of interest ... look at the large version and find the dinosaur.

Just an observation but I noticed the Sepia shows a little more detail in the shadows. The sepia was made from the black and white with no other alterations at all. In other words, I started with the colour photo, converted to black and white and did all the adjustments on the b/w shot and saved that. Then simply used the Saturation and colourise in PS and made it sepia. In theory they should be identical other than the colour hue in the sepia version.
