I can go either way on this one Tom. I am usually a B&W guy for these types of images.

Thanks, Don. It's a toughie but I'm going with color on this one.

For what it's worth, I think your color one edges out B/W. A warmer feel and hence the hope Mike spoke to.

Thank, Rob. I agree with you....as do most folks.

Thanks to everyone who expressed a preference for the barn....whether they like the color version or the B&W version. It was virtually unanimous that the color version was preferred in this case. Some said it was too tough to make a call.

Both great, I like the B&W a bit more because of all of the texture and grain it pulls out of the siding and trim.

B&W, but maybe with some sepia or split toning & subtle vignetting.

IN the last couple of days, I posted a colored shot of what I called a potential deathtrap barn. I want to thank all of you who responded to that posting. Several of you expressed that you would like to see a B&W version. A lot of times I automatically go B&W with this genre of scenes. In this case, I was on the fence. If you don't mind, would you take another look and give me your opinion as to color or B&W. You can just say color or B&W. There is a high possibility that this shot will be included in a published periodical and I'd like to put my best foot forward. Thanks.

I'm including both versions below.

Color for me
The monochrome is missing something, and I can't figure it out.

Both are nice but I like the one in color better.

I like them both. But if I imagine them framed and hanging on a wall I like the B/W the best.

I like the B&W version, I think a "sepia" filter would be nice.
I always liked printing on the Agfa Portriga Rapid paper back in darkroom days.

Tom, I think the BW is much more powerful.

I love B&W, but this one needs the color to show the rust on the roof.

To much sky in the B-W version . Gives it a differant illusion .
