hughden Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I think the black and white works much better. In the colour shot there is the colour variety that drags your eyes around the shot. In the B&W she sits alone. Nice shot, make me wonder what she is thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupled with my recently acquired 35mm film equipment I feel like "Benjamin Buton" on the Tardis! i.e. going forwards in reverse ! Seriously, colour to me is usually a distraction as you say. B+W can only be the image content. I remember someone once saying - " convert it to B+W - if it still looks good, then you've got content" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51NAH Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Agreed the black and white works better for this shot. Haven't tried using black and white (not since I was 8 years old anyway ). Might have to give it a crack and see what I come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
