But, the B&W for me has a deeper emotion to it, more melancholy, more of the feeling I would be feeling or looking for in a photograph.It makes me feel.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860370983531635190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999296876330813915.post-68174396108136295662009-06-25T17:16:46.222-07:002009-06-25T17:16:46.222-07:00John, Bo, Mom and Shelley - Thanks for joining in!...John, Bo, Mom and Shelley - Thanks for joining in!

The black and white one draws you into the picture and is very stark and clean looking. I like the feel of both of them, depending on what you want on your wall.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362984115890361525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999296876330813915.post-77378797510598784532009-06-21T22:09:07.239-07:002009-06-21T22:09:07.239-07:00I'm with Bo, love them both for different reas...I'm with Bo, love them both for different reasons...but also agree with Peter-the bit of color just above the moutain really draws your eye and makes you feel the length of the lake- the BW loses that perspective point a bit.suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581624051979301607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999296876330813915.post-5739011845079516132009-06-21T20:54:58.819-07:002009-06-21T20:54:58.819-07:00I like both.I like both.Bojh Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597438555148980392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999296876330813915.post-9949787456473220332009-06-19T02:43:01.830-07:002009-06-19T02:43:01.830-07:00I like the color version.

I haven't added up the votes from other sites, such as on<a href="http://www.facebook.com/JohnOConnorPhoto" rel="nofollow">facebook</a> or <a href="http://www.twitter.com/johnoconnorfoto" rel="nofollow">twitter</a>, but I think the BW version has pulled ahead. I'm still undecided, but honestly I think I'm leaning towards the color version. But what do I know? I can tell you though that it has been very helpful getting this feed back, as well as very flattering to have you all critically viewing my work.

Really brings out the textures in the rocks and clouds.

Actually, I prefer the B&W one in this instance. Probably something to do with the overall mood and atmosphere that isn't quite there in the colour version, when compared side by side.peterhttp://phototalk.stewarts.dknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999296876330813915.post-26341248499775622782009-06-14T22:58:07.884-07:002009-06-14T22:58:07.884-07:00I find I am more drawn to color lately, and especi...I find I am more drawn to color lately, and especially picky about b&w, but this image I prefer b&w... it definitely fits the mood, and I agree with Bartek, the concentration on the clouds/reflection is much stronger<br /><br />always good john :)Moore Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11705486395256952089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999296876330813915.post-255398647292812532009-06-13T18:25:06.197-07:002009-06-13T18:25:06.197-07:00I like B&W on this scene because of the contra...I like B&W on this scene because of the contrast and light.
