When I see ..."cool shot Luis!" :-) without breaking it down any further. Where as in colour my eye goes immediately to the bright red area as nothing more than a very distracting bright light and would immediately try to figure out how to crop it out if possible ? Or kick my own ass for the composition and keeping it in the frame. Be a damn boring wold if we ll related to every exposure identically all the time. Oh and my preference? B&W ! :-) Because I see more detail, the man and umbrella stand out stronger and as I said, I feel it's a "cool" photo in the rain. :-) cheers, ted > On 24/12/2010 00:30, Lluis Ripoll wrote: >> For these two first, I would appreciate your opinions, I'm undecided > if >> B&W or Color >> >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/El_Raval/L1017187w.jpg.html >> >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/El_Raval/L1017187BWSw.jpg.html > - - - - > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
