B&W or Not?

[mmaria]

I'm not sure why the thread went this way...

 

[TWright33]

not why it was taken.

Which is why we are having this conversation.

Converting to B&W won't fix what's wrong with this image.

i just told you it was distracting. And it is
Concern over the photo depends on your intent of the photo and its purpose. i have tons of snapshots of my kids, but a entire different category where some aren't just "snapshots" and are on a more artistic or correctly composed level.
If your dog shot is a snapshot, okay. it is.
if you are trying to make a correctly composed photo, that is something else.
Normally anything dull colorwise i consider for bw, especially if im trying to emphasize lines or texture or some component, give a classic look. Anything color with outstanding bright ones i consider a candidate for color. Colors are BEAUTIFUL, why make it bw then? Might even want to make them more vivid and capture them at the brightest.
your problem here, is the throw looks better than the dog color wise. so the throw makes sense in color it had nice colors. But you apparently want the photo to be of the dog.
Move the dog, take a photo of the throw. That is my vote.
or put it in the for fun gallery or the pet section...

the question you are asking bw or not. The correct answer is NEITHER as the flaws in the photo make it not gravitate toward either. But for the sake of that throw, i picked bw assuming the photo was of the dog not the throw.

Nope, sorry.
I'm not taking any blame for this.
Anything I said was at your invitation and without any bias.
If you want to be offended and take insult where none was offered, it's all on you, buddy.

I think it is apparent at this point that no one understands what was originally asked. Just forget the whole thing. It's obvious that when I told my dog to go sleep on the couch I should have moved the throw and then moved the dogs head out more in to the light... Yeah that sounds like a plan

What WAS the point? I understand that you didn't want anyone to pick the pictures apart, but were people supposed to simply say "B&W" or "Color" but not explain their choice? Then perhaps you should have included a poll.

I'd like to know as well.

OP, you should explain the photo because I don't understand it the way you do.
