Here's an odd underwater scene I thought was interesting. I couldn't decide whether to post the color version or the monochrome version, so here are both.
Wait! Forget about the best presentation.... how did you take this? Are you swimming? Are you using a special camera? Fascinating. I like the green-colored one -- because it makes it clear to me that you are underwater. But how???
I wasn't underwater. You might recall a few weeks ago I posted a picture of two geese who supervised me while I took pictures of their pond. This is one of those pictures. I was on the bank and took this picture looking into the water. A shaft of sunlight was illuminating the floor of the pond really well. Probably used a polarizing filter to reduce reflections from the surface.
Each have their beauty but if I were forced to choose I'd go with color. The light has a stronger existence in the colored one while the "floating whatever" stands out more in the monochrome. But since my first love in photography is color...color it is. 😉
Wow thats a cool capture I like the monochrome better I feel it has more highlights and love the lighting
ReplyDeleteI'm on the other side of the fence to Tom, I prefer the colour shot in this instance.

DeleteI like them both, but the colorversion has got the edge for me.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with color, too - well done👏
