I spotted that one, too. But the comment I found most telling was the closing remark in the article: "In my opinion, black and white is fine but I don't think you can beat color. It's what you really see". Normally that's how I feel, too. But as I looked through this great selection of B&W images I only found one (or possibly two) where the lack of colo(u)r took anything away from the image, and more than that where colour would have been at best a distraction. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
