Another bench for C&C

[Tight Knot]

Hi all,
Here is another bench from the same shoot the other day. I shot a newly married couple, and just liked these benches.

What do you think?

I prefer the first one, very inviting scene, b&w completely changes the mood

Hi funwitha7d,

I agree totally, absolute opposite moods. I like the color far better myself, but the B&W image just has such a strong sense of dark, forbidding loneliness, I feel the emotion in it strongly.

yeah I got the dark foreboding too, so different

The B&W for the mood - the color doesn't do anything for me.

Hey KenC,
I guess I like them both (could be I'm a little biased ).
I feel the color one could be a postcard or condolences greeting card, and the B&W is just dark, foreboding and menacing in it's loneliness. And that's why I like it.
