Color Versions

[MrX]

Just wanted to post the color version of the photo I posted in last weeks WIP thread...... if anyone else wants to do the same, feel free to do so here. Always interesting to see what the image started out as.

I really LOVE that picture!

As great as the color version is, I think I prefer the BW. Just my feel.

Your image is very crisp and does not look over sharpened.

Thanks! I appreciate the comments. J, I feel the same; I prefer the B&W image more as well. The color version is nice IMO, but the B&W just gives more feeling for some reason.

Got into this discusson over on Digital Photography School — Digital Photography Tips for You and someone wanted to see the color version, which they liked better. :shrug:

I like it much better in B&W... much creepier

Thanks! I appreciate the comments.

I wonder if you'll appreciate mine.

When I saw the original I said, "Bleh." The color throws everything off. And the fact that artificial light was used is apparent, where with the B&W it's not so much.

I'm not trying to be hard on you, but I don't like it. The two versions do present a good example, though: many people believe that great photographs are born at the push of the shutter button. But often times - more often than not, really - hitting the shutter is the start, not the end, of creating a great photograph, since so much can be done in post-processing to draw out the essence the photographer was attempting to capture.

In your case, I think you caught a neat scene originally and turned it into a truly intriguing photograph afterward.

Thank you, and i actually do appreciate your comment very much. I dont expect to hear how great a shot is, I like to hear things from a different perspective be it good or bad. Constructive critique is always appreciated when I post a photo

Yeah, I'm the same way. I try to refrain from saying anything if I can't be informative somehow. I may say I don't like it, but I'll say why, as opposed to a drive-by "great pic" and nothing more.

Good shooting.
