svenivan Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Beautiful kids, a very good photo of them, and B&W was a good choice! Have a good time mr Hoss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserted Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 You've got that one spot on in terms of composition and perspective. The only minor point I'd make is that there is a slight lack of contrast. Some darker blacks would have helped the image, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys, and I agree that tonally it could be a little more interesting. I think there is just too much mid tone. There are some real blacks and clean whites, but it is mostly mid tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plahgat Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I'm with Kan Win on this one, great photo in every aspect, except it's better in natural colours! B/W is better for documentary style showing negative stuff like war or poverty, or close up shots of old peoples faces or to shoot artistic nudes accentuating the skin. Good work!

wineman Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Hi canuckamuck, Super photo of kids with smiling face. Any chance of a colour photo as I am not really into B&W photos. Win Hows this IMHO the colour version is much better. Am intrigued as to why you converted such a good and cheery pic to B&W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonititan Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I actually prefer the B & W photo. I don't think it appears to be sad or dreary at all. In the B & W shot, my eyes are drawn to the kids' darling faces. In the color shot, I keep looking at the crazy colored ball and the girl's dress. All the bright colors seem to drown out the faces.

canuckamuck Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 I guess I was in the mood for black and white, I am glad people like it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farang0tang Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I agree totally with tonititan. B&W works best for me here. Eyes immediately lock on to the 2 happy faces, and not jump around the composition as in the color version. Great pic, where was it shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losworld Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Brilliant... love everything about it... framing, bw, but most of all the expressions of the children and one looking at the camera and one away it does not look concocted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am intrigued as to why you converted such a good and cheery pic to B&W. bw makes it look timeless and the muticolored soccer ball is distracting... why not try a bit more blur or sepia or scratching to give it a more timeless look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennie Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 It is really the choice of the photographer not the critics which is the right way, color or BW. It should suit the taste of the creator not those who see it. I was sorry that you gave in and posted the color shot just to satisfy a few who don't like BW which is a good choice for this picture as it does keep your eye on their faces. It is a very nice photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
