Richard I have gone back and forth several times and I prefer the b & w version with all it's fine calm quiescence; to loss oneself in the transitions of the delicate tonal shifts.
@kaesebiscuit@tosee Thank you Gentlemen for your time and interest - the world would be a dull place if there was no difference of opinion. I think both are interesting because of the subtleties of variance: variance of tones in the monochrome shot and of hue in the colour shot.
this is almost b&w and white on white as it is - how would it have worked without the spoon, or the spoon on the saucer? What about a different point of view. (Sorry, I'm running through ideas I would have tried as I took this because I take so many versions of this kind of shot when I'm experimenting at different settings, because it's digital and you can, come to download and think, oops that was 50 shots. Most of my stuff is one off opportunities during normal time)
@shannejw Yep, I did all of that Shanne, around 70 shots, but decided on this in the end. The B&W version is better (IMHO) because the spoon is smaller, but I accidentally deleted the raw file so I had to post the colour version with this larger dessert spoon instead of the tea-spoon as in the mono shot.
