I think I am leaning to the black and white one. But then again I am a aspiring black and white landscape photographer so I already love black and white..lol

I think I like the b/w too. :D

I prefer the color photo.
I do like b/w photography, but I feel the color photo already shows enough contrast between light and dark while the color actually enhances the visual appeal of the photo for me.

I like the Black and White too

I am partial to all back and white photos, they age them in a special way.

[Edurne]

Most of my work, at least any work I've done seriously is in b&w. But I do think that in this particular photograph, the colours work beautifully. Mostly because there is hardly any color in the print, but what there is, is subtle and soft. Personal opinion.

[PASOFAN]

Thanks all!

I blew up the black and white one and boy does it look dramatic! I am going to frame it...

Edurne: Do you have a website for your black and white work? I am aspiring and my web site is in my siggy.... I would love any other of your opinions too!

This particular photo is not what I would consider my professional stuff and wont be on my site, this pic was just for fun...


:D

[Edurne]

You are right in that the b&w one is "dramatic" in contrast to the color one. I do see your preference. I happen to love b&w work. Professional work sometimes has to meet "criteria", which is not neccessarily what one finds artistically appealing.

I like the b/w. Perfect for hanging on the wall :)

I like the colr best. The black and white has too much gray for my taste.

[Heidi]

...has too much gray for my taste.
:shock: Wha...?

I like the photo with color. The color is so subtle, yet I feel it adds just enough dimension to the subject matter and draws you into a personal and loving moment.

Can I choose c, both of the above? They both look great. I think the black and white is the better of the 2 for your sister. It gives a little more contrast between the face and hair.

I think the color picture brings out more of the features of the horse. Can you edit to show your sister in b&w and the horse in color? :-?

If I have to pick one I would have to say the color.

I am terrible in photoshop LE, I wish I could try keeping him in color and her not.. But I dont know how to do that in photoshop... aaahhh

In one of my christmas artistic horse shots I wanted to keep a horse black and white and the christmas garland in it's original green color but I tried for a week and couldnt figure out how..

I hope to learn more about my photoshop, there is so much I could be doing!
