Let me know what version you prefer

This is the original. Very poor weather, rained all day.



This version I converted to B&W, added grain and tinted. ????

Your subject matter has a timeless feel to it.
The weather was ugly, as you are saying.
Hence I think I like the b+w sepia tinted version better. It says all you want to say and you don't really need the colours!

Second version by far. It just carries this great photo farther

The only real fault I saw when I shot it was the flag. It has too many stars for a WWII flag. Only history buffs usally notice. (the US only had 48 states then as opposed to 50 now, the star field was in equal number rows then, even-odd number now)

2nd one is a tad too redish for me personally, but i do like where you are taking the photo

like both shots but with the age of the plane the sepia looks nice :hail: :thumbup:

I shot this at the Dayton Air Show this past summer. It is either 105 in the shade or raining every time I have been there. It's not as big a show as it was back in the mid-eighties, but still a nice exhibit.

i think the second is better because of the historic-era colored picture. great shot

I like 'em both but leaning more towards the first one.
Play with the curves/brightness/contrast, bump up the sat a bit and it should be a killer shot. I love rainy days!

2nd one. makes it have a vintage feel. i like it.

 

[RickyN29]

Yeah, I definitely prefer the 2nd one. But I am also a big fan of colorless shots. Forces me to admire subject rather than color.

#2, no doubt

 

[jstuedle]

Thank you all for your opinions. With the weather as bad as it was, the few static shots I took were the only ones that were worth a darn. This one just begged to be a grainy B&W. Thanks again.

i like the first image better.. perhaps add a bit contrast to it .. play with it on ps.. would rock!
nice shot thanks for sharing

The reddish sepia doesn't work for me. I prefer the original. Like mansi says...play with the contrast a bit. Or go plain BW with it.
