I went to the harbor again to look for photographs. I loved finding this scene with this unusual piece of silver driftwood. I saw it in color, of course, but something made me think that perhaps this should be a black & white image. I tried to imagine the scene without color, and I thought it might be a better photograph. So when I got home, I converted one copy of the picture to black & white, and left the original in color. I think I like the B&W image the best. What do you think?

I prefer the color photo, mainly because of the contrast and all the different shades in the rocks.

although i usually prefer the b&w when you do these a and b tests, i'm with joan this time.

I gotta go with the girls on this. I like B&W photographs but, in this case, I think the range of colors adds more to this waterfront scene compared with shades of gray.
I like the photo better in color because of the contrast between the rocks and the driftwood. bsk
Wow! Thank you all for your comments. I love that all four of you like the same version of the photograph. Thank you! I am going to have to reconsider this...
I also prefer the color version because of the life & death aspect. The green sea grass, water, earth toned rocks, and weeds near the driftwood speak life around this dried up, lifeless piece of wood.
