Soda Fountain

[Sp00ks]

I had a hard time deciding where to post this one. Now my problem is, I don't know which version I like best. I am leaning toward the color version. Help me decide.

I have larger versions if you would like to see them. I was just trying to be kind to the poor folks with 56k.

I am liking the black and white version best

I like the b+w....simply because the fountain blends into the background too much in the other two...it really stands out in the second one!

thanks for the votes and replies.

I am a huge fan of black and white but I keep seeing those strawberry's in the color version and that just makes the shot to me, that little bit of red. I seriously thought about a selective color on this one because it would have been subtle, but it's been done so much.

simple :)

I voted color. To me the black and white one seems too cold and the sepia one does not add anything over the colored version. Also the fountain seems more lost in the monochrome ones because there is no big difference in contrast from the background to emphasize the subject, whereas the soft colors do a better job of doing that without dominating.

I dislike black and white shots to no end but in this shot b&w makes the photo. I voted B&W.
