Hello all,

Can't decide whether I should use colour or B&W for the image below. I think I'm inclined to keep the monochrome version. Would love to know your opinions.

Well I like the warm skin tones, but find the green trees in the BG distracting, so I'd go halfway and use selective colouring. Best of both worlds :)

I'm not sure the colour really adds anything to this image. Dont get me wrong it's a great shot but I tihnk the B&W is better

The B&W is a clear winner here, why I think like that...I cannot tell you :) It just is! :up:

I prefer the B&W

Have you thought about Sepia?

Thanks for your help, guys. I prefer the B&W also. I tried sepia - doesn't look as good.

Cheers
Alex

B&W FTW - it focuses the attention on the couple.
