Hello all,

Here are two pics from my recent venture to Toronto. I have shown both pictures, below, with 2 different edits. Which do you guys prefer?

Color works great for #1, B&W works great for #2.

You hit the nail right on the head LM - I prefer the 1st in color and 2nd in sepia as well.

The 1st in sepia looks too much like it was printed in newsprint, and I like the feel of the 2nd one in sepia as well.

Thanks!

There's a strange hue to that sepia, but I like it. Not your typical tungsten-like warm sepia you typically see. Very much like a newspaper print as you pointed out.

Yeah, I do like it, but next to the Color, I prefer the Color I think.

Interesting photo. Is this a parody of the comedian from a while back? I like both captures as street candids and I prefer the color in both.

To be honest I'm not sure which comedian you are talking about. But this guy was actually really good at guitar.

Thanks very much for your opinion.

I think he billed himself as the Unknown Comic. Did his act with a shopping bag over his head.

He was one of the more popular acts from The Gong Show. When that show tanked, so did his career.

On the pics here, I like the color versions better. The purple shirt adds character to the character.

I agree with the first couple of posters. #1 in color, #2 in sepia.
