Brothers: Color or B&W?
I don’t get to see these Boston friends nearly often enough, and when I do, I try to catch some quick snaps of their boys. I have some crazy shots of them being boy-goofy, but I like the more pensive look of these better. I’m not sure that you can tell that these were done in the middle of a busy hotel lobby (or that the boys had enough energy between them to power the city of New Orleans, where these were taken).
I can’t decide if I like the color or B&W better. What do you think?
- Wow! Those eyes are incredible. Just gorgeous, David!
- I like the color better..their eyes are outstanding!!
- You know me, David. All about the black and white. But just sold 4 photos for a fundraiser for Red Cross here in Jackson and 3 out of 4 were color. And the color, especially in the first boy's irises, is amazing. Great work.
- These are beautiful. Both boys have such a hypnotic gaze. I love their freckles too. The B&Ws are great but I prefer the colour versions of each in this instance :-)
- Oh, David, they are just gorgeous, although ***disclaimer*** I may be a bit biased as their Mom :-) I love B&W, but I think in this case the color is so warm and makes their eyes really stand out. Dad votes for color too.
- Oh, definitely colour! Beautiful work, their gaze is lovely. I love how you captured this moment of quiet amongst what sounds like chaos.
- Color!! They have amazing eyes and you captured them so well! Love these David, as I do all your images!
- I adore the intensity of these. Really powerful images.
- As the proud grandmother, I prefer the color hands down - for the eyes. Thanks! diane
- Looks like color is going to be the hands-down winner. Besides, it seems to be what Mom, Dad, and Grandma prefer. Color it is!
- I love both the color and b&w, but I think I like the color a little better because their eyes are such a pretty color.
- Both the color and b/w are gorgeous, I love how you have really showcased their beautiful eyes! Love these!
- OOOOooH...I loke the color ones...those eyes are amazing!
- On these, it's a tough one, but I think I prefer the color versions. They are GORGEOUS!
- as a pround nanny and also lucky to see those AMAZING! eyes every week, I have to say than B&W are goegeous but my vote is for the color ones.Great pictures
- Ohhh...tough call! I usually am a huge fan of black and white conversions, but I think I've got to go with the color ones on these. They both have AMAZINGLY cool eye coloring! Great shots!
- Wow - they have awesome color of eyes! I love the color versions!
- WOW! look at those eyes! Great stuff!
- AMAZING! I am such a sucker for the close-ups and I love the color!
- Wow, the first one sort of took my breath away! What gorgeous eyes! I love the color versions.
- Those eyes are amazing .. color for sure!!
- I'm voting color this time!
- Such gorgeous eyes. You always capture the soul.
