Do you prefer the colour or black and white version?

I love the shadows in the black and white 🙂

Both have their individual ‘character’. Love them both.

I am just confused with this set, don’t know which one to chose… Generally its idea candidate for monochrome, but color version has better depth in it.. I like the reflection stuff.. looks like you are fond of reflections!

At first I thought I like the colour better for that glimpse of blue sky, but I notice the human shadows better in monochrome which I find very cool. Great example, Debbie. It will teach us to look different.

I usually prefer B&W, but the color of the sky and the light flare causes me to lean in that direction.

Colour has the edge for me Debs. Lifts it into a nicer place xx

Monochrome for me, but it’s a close call in this case!

I think I prefer the colour one – there is a light touch in it that doesn’t come out in the B&W even if it is beautiful as well.

Yes, I see what you mean. I love the warmth of the orange canopy.

I like them both too 🙂 I also like the crop in the top one which cuts out the lens flare (just to complicate the issue!!).

Yes, I thought that crop worked well too – but it was nothing to do with me – my layout crops at its own will for the header picture!

I love black and white, it gives a photo more significance to me – for some reason.

B&W often wins for me – it allows you to concentrate on the contents without being distracted by colour

Debbie, I looked and looked and I like them both. It makes a good B&W photo, but I also like the light, which is muted and diffused. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! 🙂 Happy Sunday.
