Barns in B&W and sepia

[stoneylonesome]

was playing around with the barns I had posted in another thread and thought I see what they looked like in Sepia and B&W I think I'm leaning towards the B&W . I relieze they're 2 different views of the same barn.
here's the sepia

I think the pictures are a lot better in black and white. It just goes well with the broken down barns. Once again nice shots.

I much prefer the original of the species

not because I don't like bl/wh
it all depends on what I am looking at

the subdued colours of the machinery and other things around really add to the whole scene, as well as that beautiful sky
all take nothihg away from the main subject, which are the barns

thanks for showing these also Sandy
really makes up my mind

The sepia one came out great.

Thanks all for the feed back. Marie I still prefer the original colored versions myself, But for the aged look of the barn I was torn between the sepia and the B&W, I think the sepia is ok but might need a little more tweaking. Lonnie for both of these I used the free download plugin from

really a neat thing and works for both PS and PSP9

I just downloaded that yesterday, but I haven't installed it yet. I'll have to do that today and give it a look.

Sandy, I like what you did here. I can imagine the sepia one printed and then torn and stained a little.

make sure you download some of the other add-ons that go with the main download.
