Which one?

I know you probably hate these kind of posts as much as I do, but sometimes it seems necessary when one can't decide on a particular version. And to make it a bit less tedious, I've included a poll.

These are my co-worker's daughters, taken at an Applebees mixer tonight with the Canon XTi & EF 50mm f/1.8. So, if you had to choose...color or b/w?

Hands down, color version.

Thumbs up the b&w

The color capture is precious.

Voting color on this one - the colors work very well together.

I can't add any thing but if the girls were dressed up in the Victorian Style dresses, I may of liked the B&W on better.

I voted - Can't decide...I like 'em both! You're an awesome photographer, Ray!


I think the frame is too bold for such delicate subjects and is causing problems with both versions

Colour - the black boarder seems to accentuate what looks like over dodging of the faces

B&W - I think the black border detracts from this and perhaps it needs more contrast but can't tell with that border.

Gonna have to go with.....don't quit your day job....kidding.

Colour for the win!

I'm going to have to say color.

You should quit your day job Ray, you're a great photographer!
Color was my choice.

Colour would be my choice, but then I am just a colour kinda guy. Cute kids, great photos.

Cheers,

haha, thanks a lot for participating everyone and making this fun for me. Looks like color is the winner. That was my initial thought but sometimes you get to guessing yourself.

Roger, I agree. Sometimes this border works well and sometimes it doesn't. I was too lazy to change it, lol.

And thanks, Brian! Sometimes you people are too kind. :)

a little more time spent in the b&w conversion may make it look nicer, things are too grey now, so color.

LOL I love the last part of vote #3! Well funny! But I voted for the colour version :thumbsup:

Interesting that you say that, Brent, because the conversion to b/w was made in my RAW program, and it looked better than the compressed jpeg you see here.

Darling girls!

I voted color, but I would take the red light (glare thingy) off the window. My eye goes there first every time.
