I also did this in black and white, but the knitting and the blue bag didn't carry in that version.

    I processed this in black and white and did some selective sharpening to the knitting project to give it some definition. I'm still not sure if the color or the black and white version works the better. Comments?

    IMO, the yarn is more apparent in the color version. It's not easy to spot in either one, though. My first impression was that he was just kicking back and rolling a joint, though I realize that may be saying more about me than the pic. lol3.gif

    In this case, color. Though I would try to increase the contrast a bit.

    Hey Tony,

    Accepting I'm a well-known color freak, there's no contest in my mind: the color shot wins hands down.

    Addressed to Richard...

    You know any reference to drugs is a serious violation of the rules of the forum and you should know better.:D

    How ironic that interpretation would be with the marked Police Tahoe in the BG.

    He's undercover...

    I like the shot because one should do a double-take seeing him knitting on the park bench. Once upon a time, they would have to this in the privacy of their home... times have changed (for the better)...
