[Leica] Color Balance

[Tina Manley]

What color issues?  The warm vs cold?  I think either one could honestly
show what was there.  It's just a matter of preference to me.  Sometimes I
like warm and sometimes I like cold.

Here is the monochrome from the M246:

and here are two more balanced warm and then cold:

I don't consider that to be an issue, just a preference.  Some stock buyers
may want a warmer and some might want a colder photo.  I like both and, in
this case, I prefer the color over the B&W.

Thanks,

Tina
