B&W needs quite a bit more contrast to really make the whites white and the blacks black. Otherwise it's a nicely framed, lit and focussed shot. 7 - floyd
I've never been good at doing a b/w or even knowing what to look for in a b/w candidate. The tonal ranges here are good, there is nothing "blown out" (just learned that term) nor unappealingly too dark. Still, I don't think the subjects were a good candidate for b/w. Technically it is good picture, but the artistic appeal is not of the caliber that would make me want to frame it.
Though i like this in black and white, it seems a little flat to me. Maybe if the angle or perspective were different. Also, it seems a little too tight for me at the top. karmat
nice idea, and i like the composition of it all. i'm sure you are getting this question a lot, but why b&w? pumpkins have great colors usually, and i'm wondering whether that wouldn't have looked better. but then, i haven't seen the original ... oh, and btw, i'm not universally opposed to b&w, i know there's been much discussion in the forums about that. -- gr8photos (5)
Cute title. I think this shot needs more contrast, esp. between the round melon/squash and the oblong squash-thing. Color might have helped, IMO. 7 Swash
