It is time to make a choice once again. Which do you prefer, grayscale (b&w) or color?

Apart from liking the color contrast between green leaves and gray bridge, I noticed that the distant yellowish streaks were clearly part of the color scene, while the corresponding white streaks in the grayscale scene looked like artifacts of printing from a damaged negative. (Yes, I am old enough to remember printing from negatives.)
I am also old enough to remember film cameras being the only thing available but I never had access to one. Regrettably, I had no interest in photography until around 10 years ago. 😉
Colour, but that’s only because we don’t have any greenery this time of the year!
I completely understand. 😊
Beautiful B&W!
Thank you. 😊
I think the green. It was a close choice though 😀
Thanks for joining in, Cee. 😊
Color this time! 😀
This one is a battle! I thought b&w was gonna win it but color has suddenly picked up the pace. 🤔
Think I prefer the color on this one.
Ah, color is picking up the pace. 😁
I like both but I see far more colour so I think the bridge in the black and white is distinct .
Thanks for your response. I enjoy asking for help on this question because I often cannot decide on my own. 😁
What stood out to me was the sunshine on the trees. In the b&w it looks like scratches on the photo but in the color it show the magical hope of an early morning sun. I am generally not a fan of b&w but it is a different way to view what you see.
You are so right. It always surprises me how different a scene can look in b&w compared to color. 😊
I think I’m usually more attracted to the colors and the light as it reflected on the tree trunks in the background. A very nice shot
Thanks for your input, Jon. Have a wonderful week. 😊
Hard to choose… I love green as you know, but the bridge really comes into focus in the gray version.
Oh, yay! I really thought you’d go for the green. 😁
Thoughtful words accomplish much.
