Taking a break

[rob berry]

The weather was wonderful here this morning and I got this candid shot of an old guy taking a break from his walk to do a crossword puzzle. I can't make up my mind if it works better in colour or black and white, so I've posted each version in the relevant forum thread.



Any comments or view welcome.

Re: Taking a break

IMO this works much better in B/W

Re: Taking a break

Hello Tom and thanks for your comments on both versions of this shot. The more I look at it the more I'm inclined to agree that black and white is better.

Def the B&W (and I'm not generally a fan of B&W) oh and I have to ask - what is it with walkers tucking their trousers into their socks? saw a few today and it was all I could do not to laugh out loud and point.

Rob - Nice capture, and I think it's better in B&W too! If there was more open space in the shot, I would have had a looser crop to show the peace and quiet of the moment.

David - socks in trousers = no mud marks on trousers, just on the socks - easier to clean! (but yes, it does look a bit daft).

All the best, Mike.

Mike - there was a bit more space so I've re-cropped the original to see if this helps as you suggested.
