It's a nice painterly image. I like the leading lines, the composition brings the eye to the man with the umbrella. I prefer the monotone. It gives a feeling of stark loneliness. The color image is nice but I don't like the lighter "halo" around the man. For some reason the b/w takes my mind to the movie, "Sin City", the scene where Bruce Willis gets shot up on the docks trying to save the little girl.

The b&w is flat, boring and hasn't a soul upon which one can dream.
The first image dances before the viewer's eyes, with it engaging color treatments. The halo around the man only adds to the ethereal and mystical nature of this piece of fine art. I cast 30 Chicago votes for number one!

I much prefer the first. The monochrome is quite flat particularly on the boardwalk whereas there is much more gradation in reflection and detail in the first. I don't care for the halo as it feels a bit of a gimmicky device to grab your attention. far better to do without the halo and allow the strong leading lines take your eye to person. But I would remove the two blacks specks in the sky on the left for the colour version, they tend to distract.

I greatly prefer the first, color version...mainly for its resemblance to a serigraphic rendering. Was that by accident, or serendipitous? I'm guessing this was from a jpeg, judging the degree to which the color spectrum has been reduced to mimic that of an even lesser bit-depth...right or wrong?

Hello Shine11, as you are in my time zone and Dave might not be around I will answer your question. A serigraph is a print made by the silk-screen process.

The color version is ethereal and moody. He's alone and contemplative. I love the border treatment, perfect for this. the "halo" does not bother me, it could just be from the sun behind him as he is back-lit. An interesting story in there. I don't think he's depressed, he stands straight and tall and he had the foresight to bring his umbrella.

I know what you mean about "flat" but how do I make it "not flat"?
