Smoke Break
I cannot make up my mind which Image looks best, the monochrome version or colour version, what do you guys think? I would appreciate your comments, please also feel free to send on to your friends and ask for their comments and thoughts…Thanks in advance 🙂 Mark
Personally I love B&W one!
I like the B&W one more. The grim face of the smoker is distracted by the reds above in the color one.
Thanks for your thoughts, I tend to agree 🙂
I usually prefer B&W, but I’m leaning towards the original. The colors are muted enough not to garner all the viewer’s attention and do add a bit of a charm to the place.
Yeah, that was sort of my take too, sometimes a hint of colour makes all the difference. This place is interesting because the colours are very muted and grey due to the weather and the dust storms they have. Thanks for your feedback:)
i think i prefer the colour, it looks real nice, it looks like a wash of water colour is across the photo
Hi tobeclarence, thanks so much for your feedback. I like both images for very different reasons and I tend to agree with you re the colour version, i too like the muted, washed over colour feel of this image and I also like the stark contrast and hardness of the black and white version too:)
The colour. It’s the flash of vermillion which contrasts so well with the slate blue brick. Fab!
Thanks Claire, i love feedback and seeing all the different ideas and perspectives:) Cheers Mark
I think colour! Great photo.
Thanks winegums 🙂
Normally would probably go for the mono, but this colour image seems to shout out ‘Red China’. It also reminds me of the early colour photos of Albert Kahn who I think visited China. Your blog is superb and your images are totally alluring. Thank you so much for allowing us to see them.
John,
Once again, thank you…your words inspire me.

I was going to say the b&w…but after reading everyone’s comments, I like the color also!!
Thanks for getting back to me Sherry 🙂
i like the B&W.. Great picture,looks like the American singer Tom Waits.
Thanks jondunne 🙂
Captivating shot. I do like them both, but if I had to choose, I would go with the color. It adds just a streak of warmth that is very appealing.
Great photo – and mood. Especially the b/w version.
And thx for the follow! 🙂
Thanks and your welcome 🙂
