No the shot is wonderful - wonderful colours

I much prefer the color rendition. It has a magical feel to it due to the colors, the beauty of the animal and the rain drops.

The B&W is too contrasty for me -- in that is detracts my eye from the subject and the beauty around.

Superb!!

MrStickman In reply to everydayrenee [2006-11-20 05:04:05 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. Nice explanation. As a result I think the colour one is winning the race.

Merdahn [2006-11-19 10:16:08 +0000 UTC]

the coloured one is better...
the b/w version has too much contrast in my opinion while in this one the contrasts are easily shared upon the entire photography

MrStickman In reply to Merdahn [2006-11-20 05:03:27 +0000 UTC]

Cool. Thanks for that feedback. I think the general consensus is leaning towards the color on this one.

oOo
First time I've seen a South African in the recent deviations list. hehe.
Very nice, I wish I could go and get a 1D, simply for the lovely colours it captures.

Well done!
