Abandoned 2

A black & white version of my main 365 photo...what do you think?
A few have wondered what it would be like in b/w. I am a colour person so am always biased towards colour but perhaps I am missing something here!!

Nice but the colours were so muted and aged in the other shot that they added a lot I think.

[Pat Knowles]

@fueast Thanks for the feedback Alison ...I liked the faded look too!

[Jane Pittenger]

I have to agree but I'm glad you posted both

[Judith Johnson]

Well I haven't seen the colour version - yet - but I quite like this one. It sort of maintains the old-fashioned effect.

[Judith Greenwood]

Now I'm wondering if you should crop this one in a bit more to get the details in the central part - the doors either side were adding a lot in blue but not so much now but the old pumps look great. Just a thought!

[Sean O'Neill]

I am also glad you posted both. For once in my life, I think I prefer the colour, but I would love to have a play with the B+W in Silver Efex Pro!!

The colors and textures of the color photo added depth and detail to that photo.

[Jennifer]

Definitely on this occasion, the colour version works best I think.

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg Yes I think you are right Judith, closer to the pumps!!! Will try that too I think!

[Pat Knowles]

@seanoneill I think that would have been fantastic & made for a photo like this Sean!

[Karin Hirsch]

Like the colour version more, it enhances the old and deserted look of the shot

[Rick Schies]

Very fitting for this vintage pumping station

[Sue Wilde]

Love the mono too.
