Side Door

Which is more effective B&W or Color? Your feedback, critique and

comments are appreciated!

B/W!...Ciaomau!

WOW! Excellent in B&W!

 

Regards.

Both compositions are great, Antoni. Perhaps, I prefer this one. A delight of b/w image, shapes, textures and contrast. Excellent photograph. Best regards!

I have to say this B/W looks great, and I also prefer it over the color. Old buildings are great! We own land with some old buildings, however they are falling down and need some TLC - we will do our best to keep them standing.

 

Good work!

The sharpness is perfect throughout the image, That f/8 and be there really worked here. I like the patterns in the stones, and the light through the archway, very nice depth, tones and mood....well captured and composed...:)

Maurizio,

I am with you, thanks for the vote!

Ciao

Alberto,

 

thank you for the feedback and kind words!

David,

 

thank you for taking the time to view both and comment on both, I truly value your feedback.

Antoni, This is a very beautiful and interesting image. The detail and balance are both thoughtful and quite exquisite. Wonderful job!. David

Kori,

thanks for taking the time to stop by. Old buildings are unique. New construction is the creation of the lowest bidder... I hope that you have great success with your old structures in your property.

Linda,

thank you so much.

 

One would not think this exists in Miami.

Thank you for the kind comment, It is nice to see a portrait artist appreciate a shot like this one!

The very high contrast works well here. But I think that the image is even better cropped to just above the window over the door. See what you think. Is that a "for sale" sign at the end of the path?

Steve,

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I tried your suggestion. I like it. I think the vertical porthole at the top adds to the image but the square crop is nice also. What do you think?

 

I believe the sign is for a rental appartment complex and it simply displays the name.

Lovely image...black and white is very effective I find, esp with old buildings, however I have not even attempted black and white yet.....one more to add to the list....I'd love to walk through that archway and just explore......thankyou for sharing...Gail

Gail,

color is great, but in B/W is where photography reaches the artistic core of the human mind IMHO.

Bothe versions are nice Antoni but I prefer the b/w one……

It is an excellent study in textures and tonality…..

The details in this beautiful stonework are really remarkable…..

I also like the composition which adds depth in your image. (Steve’s crop is interesting too, accentuating the essence of the image). ………………PS : Many thanks for your kind comment about my work.

 

Correctas texturas, buen b/w.

Karole, thank you much for taking the time to review all three shots. Your feedback is appreciated!
