Which Version - Blue, Yellow or Black?

pemmett

Thanks to all of you helping get my direction. My last question is - out of the three, which version do you like the most?

#1 - Rays of Hope - Black



#2 - Rays of Hope - Yellow




#3 - Rays of Hope - Blue



Thanks again for all you input, feedback and encouragement :lust

I like the black!

I kind of like the blue best... and I can't see the yellow... I don't think the color matters that much... The impact comes from the content of the shot.

I like the blue and the BW ones, they both give me a kind of "cold" feeling, which fit the motive in my view. The yellow gives it a more warm tone, which is not that fitting imo.

I prefer the blue one. For me the name on the cross looks clearer on that version. It's a lovely photo.

Black but then when it comes to these images, I'm kind of a purist (would you imagine? ) One other thing that I missed before, is it possible to bring out some detail in the background trees? They appear as a black mass. It may not matter that much to most but I found it noticeable.

All work well for me, but I think I'd go for the blue.

Travis. Thanks for the great feedback. Do the trees look better in the photos below? Thanks.


#1 - Blue Version



#2 - Black Version (Purist)

Emily,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still tossing up betwee the two myself and also wondering if it really makes that much difference? Hmmm.

Blue for me.

Linda,

Thanks, I'm still struggling to know if it's good enough. I like it myself, but fear it may be too corny? What do you think? Thanks

Thanks. I agree with you on that. Just wanted to try something different and cold versus warm seemed to be a good choice. Cheers.

Winston, Thanks for the feedback. I'm kind of stuck between blue and blank and wonder if the colour whill make a big difference or if the image will hold up by themselves with the current content, composition etc? Cheers.

Yes, they do to me but I wouldn't rely on my eye alone.

I don't think it's corny at all.

It's a lovely photo.

Don't forget, you still have several days to decide which one to submit as your final entry. Go with whichever one you feel is the "right" one. If it doesn't make the top 10, don't fret: you already know you have a pleasing photo that attracts attention and would should do well in an exhibit or contest.

I vote for black .... The blue doesn't convey the mood as well IMO.

I like the trees in the first better - they seem to distract me in the second but they are all great.

I would be a purist basically as well, but on this particular subject, I think it is critical to leave the colorizing on the shelf.
