troyfreund Posted February 16, 2007 Share #2 Posted February 16, 2007 I like the color version better. In the B+W version, the brightness of his hat draws my eyes away from his face. Troy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted February 16, 2007 Share #3 Posted February 16, 2007 Svenning - A delightful pair. Very nice pose, exposure, details and bokeh. At least on this inferior monitor I prefer the drama of the B&W, plus the color seems off a bit. I'll look again from home tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted February 16, 2007 Share #4 Posted February 16, 2007 Svenning, IMHO the b&w image renders more powerful this subject. Brightening the image slightly, and then burning in where desired, will give you a great portrait. Nice capture. Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted February 16, 2007 Share #5 Posted February 16, 2007 Svenning To me the colour image conveys more and the extra dimension causes the image to stand out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 17, 2007 Share #6 Posted February 17, 2007 Colour version for me too - well scanned. I have always found K64 to be a "challenge" to scan. This fellow looks like he enjoys his work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chriisi Posted February 17, 2007 Share #7 Posted February 17, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) sure the color one.. the colors of kodachrome are so beautiful.. and in the b/w-version you have lack of light in his face.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
