Settle This?

Lewie and I were discussing photos, as we usually do and this came up.

Does it look better in Normal, B & W, or "Vintage"?

I usually don't like vintage looks, but it really fits this pic.

I like vintage the least. The B&W is nostalgic to me because I am ancient. It reminds me of a Life magazine photo. I really like normal the best because both the conch and the the rock that it sits on stand out.

I like the normal because you can really see everything .....the depth..the textures....the colors....its beautiful!

This may be no help, but they all look to good to choose which one is better! :gj:

I am a big fan of B&W for most things, but it really just doesn't work for this particular shot. Vintage seems a bit washed out. Normal really pops! So, for what it's worth...normal.
Really nice shot.

For this photo.. I like the vintage. It really seems to highlight the soft tones of both the rock and the shell..

I personally like the normal one the best. Which one do you and Lewie like?

I like the vintage one because it makes it look like the picture was taken in the early morning. Just when the sun was coming up and everything was orangy looking.

There is too much color in that picture in particular and not enough contrast to be black and white IMO.

Both colors are very nice, because the originals colors are very rich and pretty but I really like the vintage version as well, so I chose vintage for once.
