Color for sure.

I only tend to use black and white if the color isnt pleasing, or if it doesnt suit the mood I am going for.....in this case, color works perfectly, so run with it.

Definitely the color. :thumb A lot of the drama is lost in the black and white version. Why the title? :scratch Virginia

P.S. I really like the picture.

Any thoughts? Yeah, great photo, but work on it, and others, some more. Plenty of time for perfection.

hehehehehehe

Sorry, I just hate being sick from overwork. Especially unpaid.

Personally, I like the black and white version better, esp. if you are going to use the title "Shadow of Death". The color version has a warmer mood and seems "happier", the black and white version seems more somber and otherworldly, more in tune with a shadow of death theme. But that's just my humble opinion~ ;)

Cheers!

I dont know. calling it "shadow of death" and keeping it color give it a creepy feel to me. I like it. Id almost dial in a tiny amount of redness... kind of like the hallway to hell.

:agree Try playing a little more too...to see what you can come up with. Try some exposure adjustments and play with the dodge tool etc...Great cocept, and I really think you could make that B&W one POP!

I just looked "here". Great memorial to something that we all wish didn't happen.

Since it did, the art "there" is remarkable.

I love your capture of the girl walking through. I think it is stronger knowing that it is the holocaust.

Also, after reflection, before knowing about the reason behind the shot, I do agree with those who like the blk and white better.

Also, I would make sure that those who see it know the history.

Originally I preferred the colour shot but now knowing the subject, the B&W better represents the image I assume you're looking to capture. A powerful subject and both very nice pictures.
