Your thoughts?

For me the coloured one is better than the others...
The black and white versions make me remember the past ... pictures from the 60 ties :

He looks quite alive in the first one.

Great pictures as always Yuri. I like them all although the color does work better for me.

Color this time.
I usually feel that B&W shots reveal more character, for this chap I find the color tells more of a story to me. Each line on his face tells a story. The portrait reveals volumes of history, what he has seen and done throughout his lifetime. Great shot Yuri, as usual.

The middle one, I mean the first b&w is totally great

Much attitude, I like it. :up:

In comparison, the other could be easily forgotten.

Let's say it's my way to say hello everybody, this is my second post here

I like the second one as well. Maybe a tiny crop, but the colors and bw conversion looks great, nice job Yuri !!!!!

They all look great! I like the color one best.

I usually prefer color shots to B&W but this time, I like the B&W version of the first shot. The color shot shows me the man; the B&W version shows me his soul? That sounds terribly pretentious but I don't know how to express it any better.

One could say it another way but it's just a matter of words...
