| I can't help but notice that many of the Seasonal Challenge pictures that were representing summer time scenes where in BW or Sepia tone....The last thing I think about during summertime. Just curious, Why did you take the color out if you did??? |

Wished the weather cooperated that week. I would've gotten a more colorful image and this is my tweaked version.
Funny how most male commentators didn't like my composition and all females ones say they like it. Interesting.
What do you think?

My shot was B&W.
I felt that black and white focused the attention on the boys and it was seeing summer through their eyes that I wanted to preserve. I also wanted to try to convey summer without bright colors if I could.

Faidoi, your image was not monotone it was a color picture with little color. I liked the image but didn't really see a season in it. Maybe because there wasn't so many colors. I did get a sense of time though. To me it felt like early morning or late evening.
Ttreit, yours is an good example of what I was originaly asking about. A very summer scene that IMHO would have been much more with the brightness of summer colors... |

I felt that the color of the water especially drew attention away from the boys.
I looked hard at submitting the color version, but in the end went with the one I liked the best. I actually like that you have to mentally imagine the colors...but maybe that's just me.

Hmm.. its not just the seasonal photos. I have never in my life seen B&W fireworks, guess what placed in the Nightlife challenge. It was a great photo, but I need to imagine it in color.
I have placed high(relativly speaking for me) using B&W inthe fill the frame challenge
//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=30342
but I used the duotone for an old timey effect
I think there are several factions in DPC, some want artsy and some want technical.
{shrug)
guess I'll take what I like and leave the rest

Unfortunately, the week they announced a seasonal challenge the fog comes out. Day after the challenge ends the sun comes out.
