I normally prefer B&W for churches, but color seems better for this one.
Thanks very much Bruce. The unique part of this church was the orange trim and Also the gardens which helped enhance the color to pop.

The color imparts an uplifting mood to me whereas the B&W is somewhat moody/ ominous. I prefer the color.
Very nice shot.

I've never understood the "either/or" requests. In my practice, I say "both." Some photos make good B&W's and some do not. If they don't, in my eyes, they're probably not as good even in colour as those that do. And if a photo is truly worthy of B&W, then I will normally save it as both colour and B&W.
Thanks for your comments Kathy. The reasons I did the conversion were 1) the contrasts between the clouds and stones,2)to change the mood and 3)to give a sense of the timelessness of an old structure in the middle of an increasingly modern city. Perhaps 6 months ago more people would have preferred the B&W. I think now in these grim times, more need the uplift the color image provides. I appreciate your insight.

I think the color one would look good printed and on a wall.
The other one, save for Halloween.

I love Both---Equally....the color version for the colors(of course) and the B&W for the textured grey scales in it's details. I usually have no problem in choosing but not this time around. Great Work...regardless.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much Blair. I really appreciate!

Color, because in B&W the buildings in the background take on too much control. Great shot!
Thanks so much RD. When I get a chance, I’ll try and clone it out.
