Really nice shot.
I agree, beginning to end, with Clementine's assessment.

Re: Settle This?
I like the vintage the most!

Re: Settle This?
The first one.
Is the seal to the right of the shell just napping?

Re: Settle This?
I actually really like the B&W one. Maybe its cuz I am taking a B&W class right now and that's all my eye is looking for.
I do really like the vintage too. I think the original is a little too bright on the shell.
Either way it's a beautiful photo Pat.

Re: Settle This?
I am a person who can really appreciate a black & white photo, but this one doesn't do it for me in B&W. I think the shell itself, and the rock it sets on, look good in B&W, but the rest of the picture does not.
I went back & forth a lot between normal and vintage, and finally settled on vintage. Don't think I can explain why. It was close though, so who knows on a different day or even a different monitor...

Re: Settle This?
Not digging on the vintage (at all). Normal... :)

Re: Settle This?
vintage is nice because it adds a soft-focus look to the background, but you loose the pop on the shell/rock. If you're good with photoshop, it wouldn't be too tough to blend in some of the normal foreground into the vintage shot. That'd be best IMO.

Re: Settle This?
I vacillated between normal and B&W before settling on B&W. The colors in the "vintage" version just don't look right to me, so that one was never in contention IMO.

Re: Settle This?
I like the B&W but I love the normal.
The B&W has a nice contrast to it that I like.
The normal just really sets it off with the color, it just adds a nice depth.
The vintage didn't do it for me, nothing wrong with it just didn't make it into the conversation.

P.S. The missus likes the vintage the best
BTW really nice photography Pat!
