On the one hand, the colour version makes a splash; on the other, the B&W reflects the old building. If there was a fence in the picture, I'd be sitting on it. Is that helpful? Chris On 4 September 2014 16:32, Jack Davis wrote: > > > Something I shot some year ago with an LX. Probably(?) posted a

I prefer the color, sorta along the same reasoning as Paul. In the B&W version, it seems that the dark tones from the green flower stems etc. in the foreground overwhelm the weathered tones of the building. In the color version OTOH the foreground seems less obtrusive. stan On Sep 4, 2014, at 1

Thanks, Paul. My unusual feelings as well. In this case, I believe the green is of equal attraction as the wild mustard blossoms. Jack - Original Message - From: "Paul Sorenson" To: "PDML" Sent: Thursday, September 4, 2014 8:39:54 AM Subject: Re: Peso:Ali's F

Hmmm. Both color and BW are nice. Usually I'm drawn to BW with images like this, but the plethora of yellow flowers in contrast with the muted weathering of the building keeps drawing me back to the color. -p Sent from my iPad > On Sep 4, 2014, at 8:32 AM, Jack Davis wrote: > > > > Someth
