Which photo do you guys like better?

Post by Vultite »

Hey everyone, I know it's been quite a while since I have been around here and I've been super busy...anyways, which one of these shots do you think is better? It's essentially the same picture, just one color and one B&W. Sig Sauer P226 Mk. 25 W/ SWR Octane

I tend to like the color better of the two but I'm partial to the wood tones and I think the color plays better with the flowing lines of the wood grain.

If the background were something with a more consistent geometric pattern like steel decking or mesh or even stones or leaves then I might lean more toward the B&W. For some reason maple or oak leaves overlayed in varying shades of green/red/brown seems in my head like it might make a good B&W backdrop.

Normally, I'm a B&W kinda guy, but this pic looks better in color, IMHO

Color. The interesting thing about that pic is that, because the subject is black, you essentially have a black and white photo already over a color background. I think the wood helps the gun pop.
