    Well I've never been a fan of B&W shots before, just they didn't "grab" me, so I took some shots for a local priest (long story), take photo so i won't burn in hell :rolleyes:

    So I have 2 shots, both in color and in B&W, and being a newbie at going B&W just wanted to see what people think of them. Feel free to use the photo's to show how to do it "better", if your that bored ;)

    I have gone quite dark on number 2 and as for noise I neither added/removed any, still to do that.

    So any thought's much appreciated

    One of the features in each shot is the wonderfully colourful stained glass - why reduce the impact?
    That aside, how did you convert to B&W?

    I like the last one a lot. Christ on a cross is pretty clichéd, IMO. But I like that a lot of the details in the last one are left to your imagination, even though its pretty obvious what it is and where it was taken. I don't think that B&W detracts from the stained glass at all. I like the abstract shapes in the conversion.

    These photo's I "had" to do, not my taste at all, and yea Christ on a cross is a clichéd, on the last one the main details are all blacked out, but then again would anyone go "who's that on the cross" ? :)
    I personally prefer the two B&W myself and I think the B&W adds more sombre to the photo's,
