Stockholm Outlook - Color

Stockholm Outlook - ColorI don’t normally do this but I would like to compare this photograph with the Stockholm Outlook in black and white shown above.  This is a good example of how composition can make a big difference when photographing the same subject.  (The photographer sent both images too DigaPixBlog at the same time.)

The black and white emphasized the vertical tree over the horizon skyline.  This image has the same elements but arranged in a horizontal format and now the skyline is the primary subject and the trees are merely framing elements. 

The tree on the right while still nicely silhouetted has lost its visual impact and the left hand tree has even less interest.  The church spires on the horizon are not enough to hold our attention. I would suggest to the photographer that between the two images this one has much less importance as a story telling instrument.
