Curious if folks feel that applies to landscapes too...
Are the majority of impactful?landscape photos?BW or color??or both?

I don't know if it's right to leave?Adams out of the?mix as he essentially 
has 
defined landscape photography for our generation. Maybe try to think of more 
recent?landscape images that have impacted you.

Just curious as one who concentrates more on landscape photography...

TED GRANT
father of Canadian Photojournalism

When you photograph a man in color, you photograph his clothes. When you
photograph a man in B&W, you photograph his soul. - Ted
