Unfortunately, been there done it many times and it never fails when you put print's of the same scene beside each other, it can drive you crazy deciding which you like or don't. However, put a print in one room, the other in another room without side by each comparison and they "Both will look great!" Obviously, unless you deliberately throw the colour or composition/cropping wildly off on one. But comparing the Mosque for example in different rooms they both will look fine. Side by each and great controversy can or will erupt. Actually I like both even side by each simply because I put them under they were taken during light at different times of the day, period. So that makes them both OK. Write a caption stating one was shot at dawn or on an overcast day and a viewers mind automatically accepts the blue. :-) ted " <images@InfoAve.Net> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 3:07 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] My attitude about Colo(u)r > At 02:04 AM 2/3/2005, you wrote: > >>It's easy to say that one or the other, most likely the latter, is more >>accurate, but that presents only part of the matter.
