Black and White or Color?
Lens: DA 15 limited. Camera: Pentax K3 Photo Location: Southern Indiana ISO: 100 Aperture: F8 
Posted By: Rondec, 08-12-2015, 12:36 PM

This is a photo from a misty morning at a little lake here in Southern Indiana. Just wanted some input as to whether or not the color version or the black and white version works better for you all.





Thank you for looking and for your input.

The black & white version. Might have composed it tighter, so the block of wood & stick in the foreground was gone.

Do you think more like this?

Thank you for the kind words.

I actually usually like color photos better than B and W (sacrilege I know), but in this case, the color photo has pretty muted colors anyway, so maybe that's why a black and white version with increased contrast works better.

It's hard to choose whether the muted colors or B&W conversion is better. They're both very good in their own right. I do like the final crop better though.
