Castle gates against the light - HFF

Normally I prefer colour photos, but here I made an exception because the B&W brings better out the threatening sky. I enclose the color photo and let you judge.

LES GRILLES DU CHÂTEAU AU CONTRE-JOUR. Normalement je préfère les photos couleurs, mais ici j'ai fait une exception, car le N&B fait mieux ressortir le ciel menaçant. Je vous joins la photo couleur et vous laisse juge.

SCHLOSSTORE GEGEN DAS LICHT. Normalerweise bevorzuge ich Farbfotos, aber hier habe ich eine Ausnahme gemacht, weil das S/W den bedrohlichen Himmel besser zur Geltung bringt. Ich poste das Farbfoto auch und lasse euch beurteilen.

Steve Paxton ^club

I think you are right the B/W is better colours only complicate the shot, HFF have a great weekend.

3 years ago.

Christa1004 ^club has replied to Steve Paxton ^club

Thanks Steve. I think you consider it differently: on the colour view you look immediately through the gate to the castle, while the image B & W draws attention to the cloudy sky. Have a nice Sunday.

David G Johnson ^club

Good photo's both Christa'... there is a certain element of 'B+W' that is pleasing .. it's like watching an old movie... one doesn't really miss the colour at all - // Keep good , and a ''HFF'' to you - from Dj.. UK.

Christa1004 ^club has replied to David G Johnson ^club

Thanks David, I like your comparison with an old movie. Indeed, here it could be an old post card... Stay fine and a nice Sunday.

Both beautiful in their own way but I like the drama of the black and white version Christa.
Well captured.

HFF and have a lovely weekend

Christa1004 ^club has replied to Ecobird ^club

Thanks Carol, you're right, the threatening sky looks much better in B&W. On the colour version you look more through the gate to the castle. Wishing you a nice Sunday.

Annalia S. ^club

I agree on the choice of the black and white, Christa. The color photo is very pleasant, but the black and white has a startling quality to it that makes the photo more interesting.

HFF!
