Hello Mark,

This is a nice photo in bouth color and B/W, but the B/W media gives more to the photo. So I'll have to say that I like this one best of the 2 photos. Very nice detail and textures in this photo. I allso like way you've captured the mens faces, the expression and the detail is great. TFS.

Bonjour Mark,
Je préfère cette version à la photo en couleur.
Le n&b accentue les expressions et donne plus d'ampleur au regard.

Hi, both shots have good detail and attract the attention but I think I prefer the B&W. You have captured the expressions well. Regards, Jean

I think it does look better in B&W indeed. Look at this version, my attention is drawn towrds the faces and their expressions and is not distracted by the colours and the quality of the clothes. Because in this subject, colours nad clothes do not add to the meaning of the picture. Portrait very often is better in B&W

Yo mark!

Just looking at this photo before having a look at the colour version but I can say that I really like the cold and hard but mysterious qualities these men have. It's great how you have them all in different poses and actions. The cherry ontop is having the man in the centre look in your direction.

Superb!
