Both of these are the same picture. Leave me a comment telling me whether you like the color or black and white version better, and why you feel that way. I couldn't decide.
Color. I think it's the lighting. In my opinion, black and whites are better when you play with harsh lighting. This is possibly due to the shadowing effect and how you can almost change an image or evoke a feeling.
The lighting in this photograph is best captured with the use of color. I also love the variety of colors in this place. To not use that would mean that you were neglecting a very important part of your subject.
I apologize for neglecting your work lately. Great photos!
This is an experimental project. My goal is to post a single picture each day during 2007. My hopes are that it will force me to improve my photography skills and technique and to more actively notice and, on occasion, interact with the world around me.
The rules are simple, I have to have taken the picture on the day it was posted for. Generally, I will try to post a picture on the same day that I take it. But there will probably be times when that is not possible.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to leave me a comment.
For anyone who may be interested, prints are available. If interested, please contact me and let me know what sort of print you'd like (framed or not, what size you'd like, etc) and I will get back to you as soon as possible with a price and to iron out the details. I'm not yet looking to make a living off of my art so prices will mostly just be to cover my costs.

Black and white background with colors only inside the crystal ball. It's magical, right?
I tried that. It didn't look good at all.
I like the black and white version better. It gives it a mysterious feel.
... like an old western saloon, and those are ghosts of cowboys playing pool.
I really like black and white pictures...but in this case I like the color better. I really like Matt's idea...but apparently that didnt work.
