Both are interesting, however the B&W shows far more detail than the colour as it detracts from the content of the photograph. Much better separation of subjects, area and lighting in B&W. The human figure is much stronger in B&W with a cleaner separation. Anyway that's sort of how I see it and opt for the B&W without question. And you good Sir? Why did you offer "colour" very emphatically? :-) cheers, ted > rsphotoimages at comcast.net > > > On Dec 24, 2010, at 1:25 PM, lrzeitlin at aol.com wrote: > >> On 24/12/2010 00:30, Lluis Ripoll wrote: >>> For these two first, I would appreciate your opinions, I'm undecided >> if >>> B&W or Color >>> >>> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/El_Raval/L1017187w.jpg.html >>> >>> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/El_Raval/L1017187BWSw.jpg.html >> - - - - >> Luis, >> It depends on the mood you are trying to convey.
