Birds of a Feather

B/W? Color or Creamtone? Which do you prefer?

[Andrew]

Colour. For me the monochrome doesn't add to the shot.

[Yisehaq]

I will say color.

I think I remember you showing us this once before. I'm torn between the B&W and Colour. The colour version looks a frag soft to me.

The B&W appears to me to have more "punch" to it as if it were shot with a more specular set-up ( my favourite of the three), the colour shows definitely soft to me on my monitor and the creamtone just doesn't do it for me

Thanks for all the feedback --- Ed, yes, the color was softened to add a faux Orton --- not sure I like it tho. MA -- this was shot last Thursday, so I could not have presented it prior.

Ok cool. Looks very, very similar to a shot I've seen before somewhere.

Could be. I have to say tho, that I have not seen one like it. The model saw the wreath lying on a shelf and asked what I used it for... I told her babies... She put in up to her face - I liked it and we shot it. :-) -- We also used it as a faux hat. I wasn't as crazy about that shot though because you can tell it is a wreath. Le sigh....

Wow! you HAVE seen it prior! Pretty cool! Locally, there is a photog that I recently met online. Looking through her photos, it is almost like looking at my own... two paths that have never crossed, yet they see the same thing. I think it happens a lot too. One thing to know about me though, is I have a ton of integrity --- if I were to emulate someone - I would be clear about it. I would credit the inspiration. Thanks for sharing that link, MA !
