Color, even our dreams are in color. That red glow doesn’t bother me, it helps me look at the entire picture. Such an inviting place to have stayed.

Love them both, but mono for me 🙂

The monochrome for me
LikeLike
I would prefer the colour (because of the warmth) if it weren’t for the red glow on the left. It draws the focus away from the arch and the passage. The monochrome invites one to step through and explore further.

Yes, I think I should go a version without the red glow. I liked it st the time but looking back now, it is irritating me!

Nice, secluded alley 🙂 Did you buy yourself a property over there? 🙂

No. Though it is tempting as its wonderfully friendly. My French improved massively as all the locals were happy to chat. But it’s also expensive.
For my couple of days after the workshop I moved to a hotel and my room was first floor, just behind the top of this arch.
Standing on tiptoes I could see the ancient theatre.

I wondered about the red glow. I’m going for colour because the black and white doesn’t look too inviting. 🙂

Interesting. I added a little warmth to make it more welcoming, but clearly not enough. I walked this route so many times, often with the strength of a wine tipple, that I know it is welcoming really.

I feel safer now. 🙂

I like the warmth in the colour shot, Debbie – it’s the contrarian coming through 😉

aha, that’s often a good trait 🙂 There was added warmth in this shot: the red is from the rear lights of a car that was parking close to the arch!
