In black and white

Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 3 August 2008 in Transportation and Portfolio.

I don't very often present a picture in black and white, but I thought this particular picture lent itself well to that process. Tomorrow I will show it to you in color.

It lends itself very well to b/w, Marion. It has a perfect mood of solitude.

I like the contrast between the sky and the silhouettes of the trees. Nice and quiet harbour.

I've always preferred colours too, but occasionally one cries for b&w, as this one does, what a feeling!

The contrasts are excellent and the mood tranquil. B/W is certainly the ticket here. Wonderful, Marion.

This is wonderful, Marion. While I generally prefer color also, the stark whites of the boats against the backdrop of trees (and their dark reflections), make this a striking photo. I love the masts reflected in the water.

Hi Marion, It's so good to be back doing this again. I missed all the creativity from everyone. I really like this image in B&W. It has a lot of strength and rich tones. Good choice.
