I agree, color. The BG in the B&W is a little dark and some of the detail in the fur is lost.

They both look very dark on my monitor, but I think I prefer the colour version! Like the cat too!

I like the B&W but think in the conversion there was a pretty steep loss of brightness. If you can change the way you went to B&W you may end up with lighter results.

Nice shot.

I agree with Beau - if you could keep some of the detail of the background in your conversion it would help the cat stand out more... otherwise I voting for the B/W

I got good results with a CHANEL MIXER layer set to

  • Output Chanel - Gray
  • Red: 100%
  • Green: +24%
  • Blue: -6%
After that, paint over he eyes with black, add a HUE/SATURATION layer and bump up the yellow saturation to +41 and the lightness to +35. ;)

Color, the cat disappears into the background with the selective coloring.

I liked the full color too. I need to learn how to convert to black and white better. I think photoshop would help also.

I took a quick stab at a conversion with selective color.
