Took a ride to Clearwater Florida today.....tried some architectural shots.   And this was their beach.....how relaxing does this look?! Crazy!  |

That white stuff? Is that snow? Kidding! Looks great!
The title? "Color or Black and White" Is that a question?
Hummmm ... both have a place. I am kinda leaning to the color version. Why? Not sure. The near "square" structures in the right seem a tad darkish in the B&W version. Perhaps.
Enjoy your stay.

I like the black and white version with a tad of lightning on the foreground element. I like the color too but to me the other is a stronger image. The last one - I am not a fan. Why? Because it’s not fair for those of us that won’t see that weather for months. 😉 nice seeing Helen!

I was originally drawn to this building because of the blue and white colors. Usually I like architectural abstracts in B/W but couldn't make up my mind with these. I took quite a few pictures of this building. I have posted this question in a couple of groups that I am in and have gotten votes for both. In the end I am leaning toward the B/W......thanks for the suggestion about the front structure, Judy. I was trying to camouflage those streaks that are more evident in the color. Will try another edit.

Evaluating the 2 based upon "I was originally drawn to this building because of the blue and white colors" I prefer the color version because the contrast in color between the gray and blue is stronger.

I like the color version because of the clearer reflections in the glass.

I prefer the b/w. Very dramatic. Having said that . . . the colours fit in so well together. The more I look, the more I like the coloured image. Those grey concrete blocks are very effective in front of the blue windows. And the white round building creates a great balance. Yes. I have changed my mind, Helen. The coloured one.  |

You made a good point Peterj. When I saw the blue/white I thought of those beautiful images you see from Greece. I have found people strongly preferring the color version and others the B/W. I can definitely relate to Margaret's comment above as I go back and forth myself. Taking Judy's suggestion I lightened up the front structure a "tad". And in response to another suggestion someone gave made the sky a little more dramatic.  |

the slightly darker sky makes a difference - nice job!
