B+W VS COLOR.... Your the jury , and any critique along the way welcome...

If you're going for a silhouette, the first one is too light in the foreground. The b&w is a great image though. An enhancement to this image would be to shoot it around sunset.

B&W easy. The color adds nothing to the image and B&W forces the viewer to concentrate on texture, light, and composition. I would take less blue out of the grayscale conversion so the sky is more dramatic.

jimismydaddy,,, <------ tuff name to spell lol... Hey thanks for the comments... not real sure what you mean on the color shot( to Light Foreground ?) but ya like the B+W , so counting that vote lol,,,Thanks again!

Sw1tchFX.... and thanking U2... I hear what your saying... and on the B+W , I did have a more dramatic popping sky , but wasn't sure if I liked it that way, it just had a hmmmm kind of overdone / unnatural look... but appreciate your take and suggestion on this... Thanks!

#3 for B&W. And I'd crank the contrast back in as it would go very well with the stark transition from horse to sky.

not real sure what you mean on the color shot( to Light Foreground ?)

he means that there is too much color in the foreground and takes away from the shillouette

Thank you It doesnt look like a silhouette to me.

i agree about the color silhouette business and think the second one is the better of the two.

however i don't think the image "rates" because the sillouette isn't very good to begin with, as far as what i see of the horse, i wish there was a second one, or a person, or something.

gtkelly...thanks , will look into the contrast...

zioneffect....jimismydaddy.... ok was thinking on that line, wasn't sure...

newrmdmike... I hear ya on this, guess color shot not flying at all... would have been nice to have a person there next to horse , holding some reins or something.. buttttt what can ya do ... hey Thanks for commenting..

Looking Like B+W is gonna be a clear winner here...

I agree with the other comments and believe the B&W is much better.

I love that pic! lol! Is that a Clydesdale?

What about selective color on the sky? I like the blue from the color but I think the green grass takes away from the silhouette.
