I love this shot. It was a balmy day earlier this month, on the beach at Seaton Carew. Who’s in charge- man or dog? I’m not entirely sure that I wanted to convert it to black and white. But then, I usually feel like that about photos. What do you think?
I don’t usually do the Black and White Sunday challenge, but Paula made this one so easy, even I could join in. Backwards, of course.
I’m posting this just before I disappear off to Edinburgh for a day or two, so apologies if I’m slow with responses. I’ll be back on Saturday.

B&W is more powerful. Clearer, crisper, better accentuated. As if color shot was a draft and this is the result

Thanks, Elena. I never thought of it like that 🙂

Do like both Jo, but the subtle colouring of the reflections on the sand is extra lovely . Enjoy Edinburgh !

The black and white adds a little drama which is really nice, but the tones in the first photo are beautiful . You can’t go wrong either way! Have a wonderful time in Edinburgh…why wouldn’t you! 🙂

I don’t think you lose anything when you convert this image to b & w. In fact, you probably gain increased focus on the man and dog.

You technical people see these things, Emilio. To me all the emotion is in the colour. 🙂 Thanks so much. Catch up with you later.

I like it, either way, you would Post it. I don’t shoot much in Black & White. The only time I do it is when I think a B&W Image would be better to show old things that I may shoot. Sometimes, a B&W Image is better than Color for a number of reasons. It’s up to you to decide. Regards, Les

Thanks a lot Les. I agree about old things and occasionally landscape.
