Colour or B&W??

Hi all,
Here's a pic from last year's Amberley Air Show that I've been messing with. What do you think - colour or B&W? (I was going with the "old fashioned" look with the B&W - and the orange marker thing was irritating me as well).

Are these images too large?

In colour or black and white the barricade is annoying but I must say that the shot comes into its own in black & white. But then I might be prejudiced.

It just seems more detailed and the flares of the sun on the fuselage hold more interest in the black & white.

Size is fine by me, but then I am no computer expert - maybe they chew up bandwidth or something.

Cheers,

Looks great in B&W! Maybe sepia tone will be good. Also, I'd clone out a man's legs behind the tail

Yeah I agree about the barricade, but I preferr the colour version.

The B&W one seems to noisey or something.

Size's are good also

Good capture

I'll be the judge of that!

Second one's a bit too large.

Try for a maximum of 800... remember that 800 x 600 is still a design standard and even for that, pages have to be sized at usually 720-780 to account for things like scrollbars and browser themes.

Now as for the photos, I prefer black and white but I think your image looks better in colour.
It doesn't seem to have enough depth in black and white to pull it off.

Hi Kinetic.

I didn't have any dramas with the first size but personally I try to just post a thumbnail version which feeds to the larger size. This way you can post a range of photos in a relatively small screen space, allowing viewers to pick and choose and it doesn't affront the dial-uppers so much.

You could PM me if you wanted to know how to do it.

(Great pic too! Prefer the colour one.)

:lol:

Thanks Manta, I will definitely pick your brain on that one.
