Now I am totally crazy. Took this shot while doing the weekly grocery stopping (anything to get a shot). Took in color because my camera doesn't do good bw, and converted.

think this is one where the colour version would work better to jump out in the red/ black

the advertisers of coke spend a lot of time to get the consumers attention with color. I dont think it works well in black & white

I don't feel that black and white adds anything to this subject. This shot, in color, would probably have done quite well in the "red" challenge.

nothing to shoot? While there's nothing really all that wrong with this photo, I can't really "get behind it". Photo 7 Creativity 4 B&W 5 total 5

This is a subject that really isn't helped by being black and white. That coca-cola bottle is really known for its red and you are subdueing it. Did you just take this at a supermarket? I think this could be a good picture in color and with a little better setup. For example, get rid of the $3 coupons, and the plastic holders.

This is one I think I would have ignored the true highlights on and would have let them burn out a little further and go for the whites on the coke bottles as my base highlight. The angle on the bottles is a nice touch, adds a little interest to the shot.

Seems uninspired and pretty snap shotty. It looks like you're going for symmetry here... maybe turn the bottles so all the labels are facing the same way or get a different angle to show more coke bottles.

This image is lacking the contrast and excitement that the color version would have offered, so I don't feel you've used black & white to the advantage of the photo. If it had to be black and white, I'd probably push the lighter levels further towards light to increase the impact of the photo. It might also have been interesting to play with other focal points -- did you?

well, gee that's original. Let me just take a shot of the coke bottles and convert it to black and white. Ugh.

interesting view... The subject matter isn't grabbing me very much, but the composition is ok....

fun composition!! what makes it fun is that I can't tell if this is in a store or on an assembly line.. and I like the idea that I am looking into a bottling plant. fun!!

This is a very crisp looking photograph, but lacking in good tonal range and detail. Too much contrast for my taste.
