Which do you prefer?

Colour or b&w? thanks!

I'd take B&W. In the colour version, the only thing whose colour makes any difference is the sky IMO, which looks great in your B&W conversion anyway.

(Psst, you have some sensor dust near the chimney and on the top left, all over the cloud.)

B&W definitely.

B&W

Colour. It has more detail, better exposure and contrast and better tonal control.

Slightly prefer the Black and White, though it does lose a little detail in the darker areas.

For this particular photo I like the BW. Nice job!

 

[Crazydad]

B&W looks great to me.

 

[Do'Urden's Eyes]

I say BW as well. But also clean that sensor of yours! and clone out the spots all over the upper left portion of the shot.

I prefer the B&W, maby you could brighten some of those problem areas in photoshop.
Oh well heres my attempt, hope you don't mind!

 

[Al-Wazeer]

b&w without the edit!

 

[woojiebear]

heh thanks! don't mind the edit, no - altho i really like this shot uber-contrasty for some reason.
dang sensor dust...i don't know how to clean it :S i photoshopped it though....
i like the colour too but i decided to go with the b&w...and use THIS colour one instead...

thanks for the comments!

I love the Color shot over the Black and white. Something about the crisp colors and the sky with the old and battered house combined.

 

[ShootHoops]

B&W!
