Here it is in black and white which is currently my laptop wallpaper

I prefer the color version for the autumn tones on the treeline in the right-center of the frame. I also think the high-contrast look you went with on the B&W conversion went a bit too far or used the wrong ratio of reds and greens, as you've lost some of the texture in the hills and their reflection in the water.

That being said, I'd probably bump the black point in the color version and then really boost the midtones to bring out the color in the center of the frame. The histogram on the color version is one big cluster in the center.

Thanks, will have a play - all part of the learning curve. Pity these date before I was shooting in RAW+

+1, me too, can you please also straighten the "downhill lake" while your in there doing your tweaks, it appears to slope up from left to right.

It's like that for water skiing.
