A Noodle House: This place is on the road between where I work and live. The sign says Established in 1933. I can't decide between B&W or color. What do you think?

Thanks, Bruce. It will be fun to see where this goes. :-)

Black and white because the colors, esp. the pink waste basket, take away the effect of the scene. I immediately began looking at the colors instead of the scene.

Booth are very good. Please raise(lighten) the shadows a bit and with a mask or any tool in your processing software, darken the sky a tad.
Evens out the picture and makes detaiil easier to appreciate.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not very good with post processing in digital format but I'll give it a try today or tomorrow and see how it goes.

This is getting tricky trying to fix the blown out sky. I may end up reshooting it.

In most post processing apps, there is a GRADIENT filter. Check YouTube. Composition and subject very interesting. Always learn

Which program are you using. I have PaintShop Pro and RAW Therapee. I shot this in RAW. I suppose I could just get a nice dark blue sky off of another photo and change the background. I'll play with it later this week if I get time.

PSPro has a gradient filter, i think. Raw is way to go. Just lighten shadows a bit and darken highlights globally; should do the trick,

Here are a couple I tried to fix with Canon DPP. It was easier to work the building than the sky so I darkened the whole thing and lightened the building.

Color one is, to my eyes, much improved. The B&W pix are ok. Start with the raw file and lighten shadows all the way and then lighten highlights all the way. Then adjust to taste. Convert to B & W , lastly use the contrast slider to extend or decrease perceived dynamic range. Good work
