Sunsets don´t just have to revolve around colour – they may well have elements in the composition that look better in monochrome. I´ve converted yesterday´s post to monochrome, admittedly with a lot of tweaking, to compare the scene with and without the “clutter” of colour. Maybe it´s just my love of black and white, but I prefer this one. Comments welcome – what do you prefer, or are both crap?!

I love B&W as you know…but this time I am going with the “””Fujichrome””” !! Cheers
Like it “Fujichrome”!!!
Hi Charles … actually, I like the color one better. I have a faible for b/w images and the “color” seems to be “using” color so sparingly. Basically it is not monochrome, maybe it is trichrome – the orange, the blue, the black if that counts as color. I adore the three layers of color – down the black, the middle dominated by orange and then the blue leading to way up above, to infinity.
That said, the b/w picture is great, too. It’s simply that the color one “speaks” to me more mysteriously, more emotionally….
Great work.
Cheers, Martin
Hi Martin, thanks for those comments! It´s fascinating how the two images – although the same subject, communicate in different ways!
How are you? Coming to MUC again soon?
Cheers
Charles
It’s true, fascinating images …
Yes! Coming to Munich 🙂 I mailed you to Google+ Does this arrive?
🙂 Martin
no, can you try info@openmind-images.com please
Prefer the colored one, more intensive, more “life” in the picture.
OK, thanks!
