Weekly challenge 9/1 - 9/7 Color blind

[SquarePeg]

We haven't had a b&w challenge in a while. Let's do it!!!

As most of you know, I'm not a big fan of b&w photos over color. Convince me! Post photos in b&w and, if you dare, show the color version to demonstrate that the b&w is better. Feel free to elaborate about your thought process with the conversion.

New photos only please. Get out there and shoot!

OK, I like the BW on this one despite the beautiful gold.

Yes, works great now! I think I like each equally well. They both are very nice!

I like the black and white despite the nice blues

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

That is a very nice shade of blue, but BW suits his skin better, I think.

I hav e no skill with b&w conversions. Feedback welcome.

Boathouse on the other side of the cove. I thought since the boathouse is grey and there was nice contrast between the sun and the shadows this might make a good black and white image.

Well done. All four are great subjects for B&W. Were they shot in color or B&W? Were they shot on film?

I want to remind everyone that this challenge is for new photos only please. The purpose of the challenge is to get people out there shooting.

These were all shot in RAW and converted to B&W. (Fuji XT2 & XP2)
