    The Viewer

    What do you think about this one guys? I've been all B & W except maybe 1 or 2 pictures, but I'm liking the Color better.

    But besides that what do you think about the picture?

    Thanks and God Bless.

    Each has its virtues but I also like the color - not only for the stereo cards but also for the wood of the viewer.

    I've seen a few viewers at antique shows and shops - that one looks very nice.

    I'm liking the color version best. It lends more to appreciate the age and beauty of the subject.

    Definately colour for me as it adds a huge amount to the photo. I like the mood of the photo and its shows the item off brilliantly.

    My only criticism is the item is too close to the edge of the item its sitting on and needs a bit more of a uniform background because I keep trying to look into that area to see whats there and the shadows hint at something being there.

    The color version is much warmer. The b&w version is too cool to look antique. Giving the b&w version a sepia tone might give it some appeal. Also the color version looks to have more grain, adding to antique feel.
