Black and White or Sepia?

Black and White or Sepia? · 11:53 AM

I had edited this picture to be black and white and i liked it, but then i did a sepia conversion to it and now i think i like the sepia better

What do you think?

Prefer the second one Mike. JIM

Yep sepia works well in this shot.

I have to vote the other way - B & W has some real nice contrast - I would lean towards the sepia if the outer edges blured out towards white, but I just love B & W

Andi Lo · 04-26-2009, 05:39 PM

I prefer the B&W myself... it's a nice shot, great job =)

My vote is for the sepia... Dave

Both have a nice, distinct character and feel to the pictures. If I were doing the sepia, I might tend to a slightly lighter shade to give it an aged look.

Great shot either way!

wow, cool photo. at first i thought this was a fisheye but perhaps the lines of that old building are beginning to curve a little, hmmmm.

both look great but i favor your toned image of the two.

Hm, looks kinda fifty fifty, I like the B&W more, but sepia is nice too...

I like the sepia version of the building itself, but on the whole I prefer the B&W

I like the Sephia

axl · 04-27-2009, 03:12 PM

If I would see them separately, I'd say they are both great. Seeing them together, they are still both great. Really tough call, but I prefer B&W. Though tomorrow I may like the sepia better, that's how close it is...

I prefer sephia, but less saturated.

Thanks Everyone for their opinions, its seems almost split down the center which means both are good... thanks again

I like the second one.. Maybe ad some textures to it? to give it more aged feel.
