Black and White vs Colour - which do you prefer?

The beauty of digital photography is what you can do after the shot is taken.

While I am not a fan of Photoshop I do sometimes dabble with it to see what a photo would look like in black and white.

Without the distraction of colour, the eye is drawn to light and shadow, to details that might not show themselves otherwise.

I thought it would be interesting to put these two shots together to see the direct comparison. I printed this shot in black and white, and framed it for the exhibition.

If it does not sell then there is a spot in the dining room waiting for it to come home.
