Decided to try a mono version of this image and not sure which I prefer now.
And for those of you who asked if I've ever stayed at the cottage or even been inside it, the answer is no. It is rented out, but I don't think I'd want to stay there with all the togs stopping by to take photos of it 
Many thanks to those of you who have taken the time to vote and comment on my recent uploads. It really is much appreciated.
PS. Beginning to feel human again at last, but still got the cough and feeling really tired. So much for having a flu jab at the back end of last year!

makes a great mono
must admit I love it without that rock
It certainly does work well in mono, Sue, but agree with Ronnie, and it's definitely the colour version for me

Superb in mono Sue, so much more depth and detail. And just to prove how much I like it, have my award

Plus side is that this is an exceptionally good shot of the cottage. A lot of interesting elements coming together, like the alignment of the roof, the shadow line, the clouds...
On the minus side, it woudl really give you an edge for early morning/late evening shots to stay there!
Personally, I always feel in two minds about this sort of shot, in well-known locations. So hard to do something new and good (though you've done that in this shot), and so close to intrusion.
I think (if I did more landscape than I do) that I'd want to explore less-visited areas, and perhaps make something of the local area (tricky one, in Walsall... They even demolished our power station and cooling towers. Just the M6 left, really...)
Very nice Mono conversion Sue. Like you I am decided as to which version I prefer.
