nice , any chance of seeing the colour version ??

 

[Jayst84]

Not bad, I'd like to see his face a bit sharper though, with more texture and grit to it.

First thing I thought when opening the thread was that it looks a bit too 'flash on camera.'

Interesting shot nonetheless.

See what you mean. I could have easily toned down the contrast.

Colour version

 

[Ady Williams]

I think I prefer the B&W version of this.

I think I prefer the B&W version of this.

Yes, and me. I wanted the "gritty" look and the colour version is too nice.

 

[magirus]

The B&W version is a great shot.

 

[King of Groove]

I like both shots as they each offer something different.

 

[Wigster]

Nice shot, i can almost smell the smoke.

 

[zoom]

Black & white lends itself to this IMO.

 

[purplepaul]

love the black and white for the atmosphere and crop

 

[phoen1x]

Brilliant B&W - I love the way it could have been taken any time in the last 80 or so years.

 

[StingerNikon]

B&W

 

[Bobby Canon]

Am I the only one who prefers the colour? I like the look of the firebox....makes me feel warm, as though I were in there with the driver.

 

[Chrisbie]

I would prefer the colour version with the crop of the Black and white, I love the reflection of the fire on the drivers face

 

[James-Sportstock]

I much prefer the black and white version.

 

[45689ajax]

Nice shot. B&W for me.

 

[nikonman]

loads of "character" in the 1st b&w, i like that...

 

[muppetdave]

Really nice. The B&W works better for me.

 

[kirk09]

Fanatsic capture i really Like the Black And white veraion Very well Done

[Ziploc]

Nice and can see why you went for the B&W, might be worth trying selective colouring of the fire ?
