[LRflex] Re: question for Ted Grant or anyone if they know t

Hi Marc,
No, of course not should you leave the colour. There is a time and place for color in photography when the color enhances the subject. Doug Herr's nature photography would not be quite so impressive in black and white I believe. Much of what is beautiful in nature is due to color. But when we seek to capture the soul and emotion of people and not their clothing, black and white seems, to me, to do a better job. The photo you showed in both black and white and color work in both mediums. Many great photos do work in both color and black and white. I still think Ted's saying says best what I am trying to express here. Thanks for showing us your lovely work. Keep doing what you do. 

Dave

Thank you so much, Dave !
But, do you pretend (all together, buddies) I leave the colour ?!!!
Please, be considerate, it has been a lot of time to achieve some result with it ! 
Jokes apart... Thanks again, very sincerely,
Marc

Marc,
this is perfect. Not much more I can say except to me this captures the soul of the subject better than the color version which was also very very good.

A very special for Steve,

Quoting your words:
"...though I wonder whether in some cases, the impact may be even greater 
with a stark bw presentation...
it would be particularly interesting (especially if done by you) to select 
a few promising ones, and show them to us as bw renditions..."

With my best regards,
Marc
