I wanted to convert one of my already uploaded images to B&W. This image seemed to be the most logical choice...This one is also the uncropped version.
Between 1904 and 1907, Antoni Gaudi worked for the industrialist Josep Batlló Casanovas reforming a house built in 1877 and located in Passeig de Gràcia. The Barcelona population of the period were quite astonished by his work and quickly gave it nicknames such as the House of Bones or the House of Yawns

Als altijd...schitterend, en dat is nog zwak uitgedrukt.
Ik weet niet naar welke van de twee mijn voorkeur uitgaat, maar dat vraag je ook niet! :-)

in kleurversie had 'ie ook al niet veel kleurverschillen, dus het verschil is niet zo groot. zeker ook mooi, deze versie, maar ik hou toch erg van kleurarme kleurenfoto's.
maar deze misstaat niet in mijn faves, dus....:-)

Ik denk dat ik toch ook een lichte voorkeur heb voor de kleurenversie.
De kleurenversie heeft door het beperkte kleurenpalet een wat onwerkelijke sfeer en dat vind ik persoonlijk erg lekker kijken.
Van de andere kant is ie in z/w ook erg sterk. Mooie plaat.

Denk zwart wit cq weglaten van kleur een van de methoden is om een foto minder rommelig te maken als de 'rommeligheid' in de kleuren zit. In dit geval was de originele foto in geen enkel opzicht rommelig, had al een behoorlijk beperkt kleurpalet. Alhoewel het een schitterende foto blijft vind ik zwart-wit hier niet speciaal iets toevoegen.

Dat valt wel mee. Want op die ext HD's staan wél folders. Maar dat staat dus technisch gezien niet op mijn computer....

Origineel is ook mooi, maar de bewerkte versie is geweldig !
En die donkere plek aan de rechterkant stoort mij niet ! Ik vermoed een deur ? Geeft er juist een extra dimensie aan !!!

I really like the defenders shot but the one thing that bothers me is the dirty overlay-- it definitely makes the mood when compared to the original, but I would've rather seen a more organic process to achieve the effect--
the challengers image is just as superb as it is mysterious--

note- I'm sorry I didn't see the other 2 yes votes-- they weren't in bold

I like the composition and athmosphere in the defenders but I agree with PJ regarding the mask... This is a clean, direct, and lovely composition that has my vote this time.

I prefer the defender as it tells a more interesting story, and a more unusual processing of the photo adds to the atmosphere.
This is an excellent photo, but its impact is mainly due to the unusual architecture. In the end it is simply a shot of a tourist walking around inside a sterile museum.

I prefer the processing in the challenger, as well as the nice clean lines and how it emphasizes the woman.

@leesure: I did 15 already and busy at the moment...Give me a minute, please ;-)
leesure 55 months ago | reply
hence the 'before' portion of the rule.
I do understand how much time it takes to come up with witty comments like yours though...
'funny...'
'It is messy...'
'Really cool undies...'
'It is a tree!'
'Don't like the bokeh'
You have a wonderful economy with words.
