NZ Visual Diary - Saint Francis (coda)
A good friend, who has had a very successful career as a director of photography, responded to my post about the Saint Francis statue in Havana by suggesting that the image would be more effective as a colour rather than a black & white photograph.
When you have a mate who has forgotten more about a subject, in this instance photography, than you will ever know, it is best to consider seriously his advice.
So, I ask y’all, my dedicated followers, to decide.
Which version of the image do you prefer?
[pardon my slight mismatch in the cropping between the two images]
The black and white image speaks to the sparsity of St Francis however the colour image give depth and perspective. They feel completely different but individually resonant.
Personally I prefer the colour image
