[mukul_chou]

As many have suggested that the conversion to BW is not proper


Here is a better processed/ converted BW for comparison.


Plz vote again

I would say B&W, but only since it seems brighter to me, so it shows much more detail. If you would have the same brightness in the colored picture I would vote for that one.

I agree than BW is better. The color is not that outstanding in the original color version anyway... But I like that misty atmosphere in the bottom BW.

color version is brightened as Sheiky^^ suggested

I do like the colored version more, the little more brightness shows more detail of the building, which I like. It just seems to have more detail in it. I'm not sure but maybe a little more contrast will do good, also: what is the main subject in this picture? The misty atmosphere or the building or something else? You might want to let the subject pop-out a little more. That's just my idea. I'm not really sure what exactly I'm looking at.


By the way, I clicked your personal link on your account. Where do you live? India or something? Looks very good to me [Y]


And what exactly are you planning to do with this picture?


Thanks a lot, Jan

No the subject (or rather what I tried to capture) is the mastic environment.


Thanks for visiting my profile. I live in Kolkata, India.


At this moment I am editing my pictures. I want to make 'my favorites' album.


Members of this forum are putting forward good suggestions in my effort. In the past I have created this kind of thread and I will do more in future.

I would go for a bit of both actually.


Here is what I came up with in photoshop:
