Messing around with an old shot, came across the raw for it.


Color or black and white?

They're both excellent. But the color shot remains my favorite.

Black & white, I find the color makes it look modern.

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

I believe the B&W "uses" the bright light from the doors to add impact, whereas in the colour version, the light detracts a bit. This would be a candidate for HDR processing. I might suggest a sepia version

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Both are nice, but I like the colored version, because I like the contrasting colors of light...warm interior and cool light streaming in.

What you are is so loud, I can't hear a word you say!

Already had an HDR type process done to it.

I like the color one! Warmer tones. :judge: :judge: :judge:

To me the light over powers the whole scene in the BW.

There both great but I prefer the B&W slightly over the color

Normally I always lean toward color, but I thought the same thing - I found the bright light distracting in the color version, whereas I think it adds to the B&W version.

Just to throw a little more info, the light is supposed to overpower the scene.

I voted color. I'd buy a print of that and hang it in my son's "choo choo" room. :) Great shot!
