black & white vs color
August 13, 2014
This week's challenge selection is
black & white vs color by Fishing Guy. Check out my pals for their
interpretations on this theme:
Fishing Guy,
Katney,
Imac,
Lew, and
Christine Anne.
I'm glad this theme was chosen. I have been interested in doing more with black & white, but just haven't gotten around to it. I like some things better in B&W and other I like some things better in color.

| This vibrant, brilliant color is all natural, but the B&W shows more of the texture, don't you think? |
 |
| But here, I the Japanese Maple has been robbed of a major distinctive... |
 |
| There it is! The distinctive color of my Japanese Maple. |
 |
| I like how Bear's character is "colored" by switching to B&W. |
 |
| But I also like this one for examining the light sources: a picture window in back, the bluish hue of the television on our left, and a white sheet of paper to reflect some fill-light back in the shadows.. |

Nicely done! I agree b&w works better with some subjects that others - need the contrast to see details. Love the "what is he doing with that camera" expression in Bear's eyes!
Great collection of B/W between Colour, My favs Bear the dog, and his cute look
Nice captures Craver, nicely done.
aww, bear is killing me with those eyes, b&w OR color!
Love that header photo!
And, if eyes could talk, Bear's would dominate the conversation.
Sooooo cute. What expressive eyes!
Sending you smiles and warm hugs, my friend,

I like seeing both versions of your photos. I think your photo of Bear is especially good in both versions.
B&W definitely brings out the textures and contrasts, but I think it depends on the subject matter. Photography has come a long way!
