TOUCH OF RED

I like the red here but because...

"I personally feel the red touch cheapens a lot a picture with great light and great objects. And I'm curious to see what other people would think of a pure b&w version of this picture..."

I did it b&w version for you Rakesh. I hope you don't mind.

I think the red one is better. It should be tonned down little bit maybe but the extra colour gives the expretion to this image.

If I may, and since the b&w is already posted, let's be fair to the b&w and give it a little more contrast, and let's get rid of the framing, which only made sense with the red line matching the red pot. This would be the result I had on my mind, and which I find really awesome... Your composition and light were really outstanding here, congrats. Best regards.

Marc, your b & w version is better from main but I didn't want to change much. I always feel uncomfortable working with not main images.

Rakesh, I still love your original image and rating and comments you got show it is a great image.

"I have lot many all blacks to post for you!"

Great news... Black subjects on black backgrounds are something I tend to like very much, since the light is what makes all the subtle differences in such cases, and your lighting skills are good, as evidenced here.

All your photographs show excellent control over the light, solid composition and good sense of colors. This one is no exception. Keep up the good work.
