Can't decide! :) Help needed

Hi!

I can't decide which I like better. The b&w version or the second with the brown wash over it...

Which do you prefer?

1.

2.

AtlPikMan · 06-30-2009, 04:37 PM

I Prefer the B&W. The contrast makes her stand out from the wall.

William Petruzzo · 06-30-2009, 04:37 PM

I'm definitely feeling the black and white more.

TriniPhototakeoutta · 06-30-2009, 04:51 PM

both are great but im a sucker for B&W.

HeY iTs ScOTtY · 06-30-2009, 04:57 PM

well i guess ill be the odd one and say #2 i think it has more depth

Can't go wrong with the Black and White but I like it how her face features stands out more with the brown finish. I pick the brown one.

Doesnt matter what you are trying to use the picture for????

I think they are both cool but you could kind use them to say different things?

But If I had to pick I say Number 2!

I find the bw makes her look like she has no legs. They blend in too well. The brown wash evens it all out so she more than a torso.

Thanks for all the input guys! Much appreciated!

The mood of the image changes too, to me, from hard to soft...

I think that's what you're referring to as well? Or am I wrong?

I like the straight up black and white the best

B&W ALWAYS STANDS over SEPIA toned.....sepia tone give a look of 30s while b&w is always good....however in ur pix i liked the both because of her dress and mood....keep up.
