so much people told me to make my new image Black'n White. OK - here are both of them. Which one is better? Please tell me. Chris

My vote is on the color one. I think it looses something in the sky in b/w one but it looks more like a photo. Although both are very nice. Colm...

I really like them both, but the B&W one is my favorite of the two. (I always like poser B&W work) Nice job. -Trav

I prefer the color one. It is muted enough that it almost works as black and white or sepia but doesn't detract. The black and white one loses something in the sky and definition. I would expect to see deeper shadows More contrast .. Right now the only black or dark is the garters .. But pretty cool images anyway .. Good luck deciding ..Steps off my soapbox I nrmally don't ramble on .. really ..s orry

I agree with Ghostofmacbeth. There is a tut on adjusting color balance on your image before converting it to grayscale. www.eyewire.com/tips/photoshop/greatgrayscale/ If your not using PhotoShop you still should be able to use the principle with just about any of the photo editing programs out there. Give it a shot. I like both versions but I think the grayscale could look even better. DM aka Nite Miner

I like em both and I still say the girl's face looks a lot like Christina Ricci from the movie Sleepy Hollow!! Jack

I like the B/W better. Perhaps you should add a little noise to make it look less sterile...

No, I like the colour one better, though the B&W one is neat, the sky just rocks in the colour version. Paul
