B&W vs. Color

I've always liked b&w (black and white) photography. It has a timeless and classic look. With digital cameras it's easy to convert a photo and adjust the color to increase contrast and drama. The challenging part is deciding which photos look best in b&w and which look best in color. Here are a few comparisons.

This photo I just took and posted the b&w in the last posting. This one was easy for me to decide on . It reminds me of photos taken in the 1930's. The clouds and buildings really pop in b&w.

This photo was taken in Yellowstone early this year. I enjoy both versions. Once again the clouds look great in b&w.

I really like portraits in b&w, but this picture is lit so well I like it in color.
