Color and B&W

This week, Lee and Bev are taking a break - so we had a suggestion of posting a picture that is strong enough that it looks good both in B&W & Color. This photo is interesting in that the mood really changes when the color is removed. I have grouped them side-by-side as a mirrored image for a comparison.

And if you want to see them individually:
Here they are:

Canon PowerShot A610
1/250s f/4.1 at 29.2mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

The color dances with the light! The b/w is nice, too.

There is really a big difference in mood between these two versions - very interesting!

I like seeing them positioned side by side for comparison. Both are very beautiful. I agree about the mood changing.

What a fabulous idea and you are so right. The mood really changes by removing the colour. Excellent presentation too.

Great presentation! Image is wonderful in both color and in B&W. I notice the window more in the b&w and the reflections. Excellent!
