Re: OT: BW or Colour - Maybe a WOW?

Hi!


Frank, I am late and I know it. Still, neither really works for me. I
am thinking about cropping the left roughly half from the b-w image.
But I realize your vision is different than mine... Also evidently, my
monitor would be re-calibrated real soon as it needs it.

ft You like better?  Worser?  Both equally mediocre?  g

On a side note. Never thought that anything can be worser lol...
Although, in EMC Boston where I visited once as I worked for EMC
Israel, they used to say anyways which isn't an official word
either. My speller does not like, for instance. Nor does it like
worser...

Just my cents.

Hi, Boris,

I agree with you.  Not about the cropping.  Just about the pic not being 
worth worrying about - not for now at least.  I've moved on.  May come back 
to it later, but for now it's in the dead pic file.  vbg

As far as worser, you likely know that's how many young children say 
worse.  They've internalized a general rule (adding er to an advective 
to make it superlative), and haven't learned not to apply it to the 
exceptions.  So, they say worser.

I was just being silly and juvenile.  But you probably knew that.  g

And, I'm guessing that kids do the same thing in Russian, Hebrew, and every 
other language.

cheers,
frank

Hi Frank ...

Color, BW ... doesn't really change anything.  It's no
betterer or worserer.  You do have photos that are more
better though.

 feel I can say if it's reworked the right way.  Maybe with a WOW?

I don't like that one anymore.

I may like it again later.  Or not.  It's off the radar for a while.

Hi Frank.
The colour one looks plain to me,nothing really snaps out.However the BW one makes it
look a little 
more like a picture(dont ask me to explain that last comment,i'm not sure what i
mean.lol)Seeing as 
how the shadows are not really dark black,a little more detail in that area might help.

B  W works much better here I think.  The bus is less distracting in this
mode.  You guys were right before about it needing to be there to tell the
story, but if it could be toned down some.  Maybe lighten the picture a bit
to get better shadow detail and burn the bus.  My focus is on what I can't
see, which is the little girls face.  I didn't blow it up, but the image
gives me a desire to see the emotion on the little girls face if that detail
exists.  Perhaps it has it's own value in my imagination being stirred to
wonder.
