You choose. Black and white?
Or color?
I nearly always prefer color, but the black and white version has good clarity
and contrast and is pretty nice, too. Then again, the original color
version looks like a 1930s postcard.
Windham is half an hour east of Hartford. Same place as last week's frog bridge.

In this case I prefer black and white. ;)
ReplyDeleteI always prefer colour over B&W. Black and white photography is like listening to recorded music in mono. That's just my personal opinion.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting building. It looks nice and in color, and black and white.
ReplyDeleteB&W gives me a kind od scary feeling.. Remember Hitchcock's "Psycho"?..
ReplyDeleteDefinitely black and white.
ReplyDeleteohhh tough one, but i love the color version!
ReplyDeleteB&W can be very tricky; best of there is good contrast. I like B&W you posted.
ReplyDeleteThis is a tough choice. I'm always a color lover but that B & W version is very striking.
ReplyDeleteGotta be color. The character of the place is determined in large part by the color of the stone and brick.
ReplyDeleteWell, well Jack, its not often we see a B&W here, I like it very much but I'm going with the colour this time, that brickwork is a fabulous hue :)
ReplyDeleteBoth of them really beautiful Jack!
ReplyDeleteI love the color, but have to admit the B&W is really striking! Great shots for the day! Hope your week is off to a great start, Jack! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou know this kind of question is wasted on me... Color forever!
ReplyDeleteSharon has a photo today from a 1950's federal courthouse in Phoenix. Your courthouse has a lot more style and character.
ReplyDeleteI see the world in color, but in this case I prefer the black and white version, perhaps because the house looks older :)
ReplyDeleteI always go for the colour - especially with great brickwork like that, Jack!
ReplyDeleteIn this case, black and white. I like the XXth century.
ReplyDeleteDifficult choice, I really like them both. I guess it would depend on what I wanted to use the photo for, as to which I would prefer. To frame and display it would be the b/w, but if I was adding it to a book on beautiful old buildings I would go with the color.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are beautiful but I'm in the B&W camp on this one. I like the crispness and contrast you've gotten with light, shadow, and the traditional lines of the building. B&W is a nice reminder of light and tone from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI vote for color or even ' colour' :). Impressive building.
ReplyDeleteColour
ReplyDeleteThe black and white works best.
ReplyDeleteIt's an imposing building!
I will have to go with the b&w.
ReplyDeleteB&W, by a wide margin. It is crisp, dramatic and emphasizes the architecture. You are right - the color is a bit off in the second one, like an old color postcard. It detracts from the subject.
ReplyDeleteYou are always talented with your camera, both images are spectacular!B&W gave me a sensation of some movie scenery, I like a lot!
