Which of the two?

2 for me. Number 1 seems over done.

maddogcollins · 15-03-2010 9:32pm

number 2 for me also.normally a black and white lover but colour is nice this time.

I also prefer no. 2. The statue of the woman stands out better, and I like the spots of colour on Oscar's clothes

I really prefer the color it gives a better background and highlights the statue in the foreground. With the B&W there is some loss of context (the background is less interesting), which I think takes away from the shot.

like the contrasts in no. 1 but the B&W makes Mr. Wilde blend into the background.

You can almost taste the nipple in the colour version.

Did you buy one?

15-03-2010 10:21pm

Canon EOS 100

I'm blaming you!

Congrats on the new camera. You'll love film:)

On the rest of this discussion I don't comment, but would prefer #2 as well as the background just fades away in the B&W...;)

I'll take that on.

You need any of the free film? I have at least a couple dozen rolls you are welcome to.

That would be great! This whole 'cost to shooting' thing is very

I'll be bringing it out with me on Paddy's day. I got a role of B&W film off a mate so should be interesting to see how it comes out.

Liking them both but to know where/what landmarks they are, the colour one steals the edge. Although I love b/w's with high contrast. gah! procrastination!

You can buy them both and then everyone wins!!

I think the line of green in the background is complimentary in the colour version while the rest of the background (except for Oscar) is similar to the B&W one and so isn't distracting from the main feature anyway. Think that means I like the colour one!

Clearly I'm weird- I mush prefer the B&W!
