COLOR or B&W ?

very nice! DarkSoldier · 2007-12-06: 13:23

oh i definitely think color! gives a warmer feeling and it seems like a warm and friendly place. lexlevans · 2007-12-06: 13:25

I do prefer b/w too. I think there's not so much distraction... ????? · 2007-12-06: 13:38

definitely.. color for me ^^ it's warmer n we can appreciate the different tones of the wood ????? · 2007-12-06: 14:02

I prefer the color one. It looks natural and breezy! :) hellovicky · 2007-12-06: 14:14

The B&W flattens the scene. We are looking at a bar, full of life and action, in this case the use of color helps to communicate that excitement . Color makes it look like a warm, inviting place. This is not a good shot to work with B&W contrast manipulation and tonal range, it would simply make the scene appear more cold and gray. Color makes it look 'natural' and by association, welcoming.

Color.... much warmer, has a nice 'feel' to it. The b/w seems flat to me, not enough contrast going on, no place to focus. DancingDolphin · 2007-12-06: 16:04

Colours ! I prefer the coloured one, softer to my eyes carmitage · 2007-12-06: 16:07

COLOUR ! :-) sunshineand · 2007-12-06: 19:54

Higher contrast color would make it more like an Edward Hopper painting... Gallone · 2007-12-06: 20:35

Definitely the black and white for me. Good shot. kimauman · 2007-12-06: 22:33

My favorite is the color! vollenda · 2007-12-06: 23:38

Me too...colour! ????? · 2007-12-07: 01:05

Colour would be used if you wanted to advertise the place as warm and cozy .... But b+w ... for me ... is making a statement about city life or everyday people or .... whatever you want to see in it! Thanks for your comment :) BlueLady · 2007-12-07: 06:35

I agree with BlueLady that it depends on what you want to communicate. Genevieve · 2007-12-08: 15:38
