Anything that colorful is meant to be in color. Just my opinion.

Agreed. I'd like to see #2 in color.


2 Samuel 9:7-8, "So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”

I don't know, #2 has a real 50s feel to it. I like it and I'm not a big fan of B&W. Nice job.

That is what I was trying to achieve, a small town fifties look. But I can understand the other veiwpoints. Here is a color version.

I agree colour is preferable but in both that and the B&W version i feel it needs a good kick in the contrast.
