Color creates the better contrast…it creates feeling as well.
Yes, I agree with you. The colour version is best. Especially since the colour tones of his clothes, plus the shadow, makes him kind of blend in with the wall.
Exactly, his clothing and shadow is like one movement together with the surroundings. Super shot.
love the shadow
Like Dalo, I prefer the second photo. Gives more life to it. The shadow almost mimics the arrows on the ground. Great shot. Great timing.
I like it in colour better. a multiple entry post – a nice way to put it 😀
Yes, I’m shorter on time than what I’m used too: have to pick up in the kindergarden after work, plus work is getting more and more hectic lately, so I don’t have the same amount of time available that I’ve been used to. I figured that a multiple entry would be practical 🙂
I like the color one also. It’s a great image.
Thanks for the link, Cardinal. What a sad photo!
Reality can be harsh sometimes.

Color here too. 🙂 The contrast between the warm stone wall and the coldness of being so alone is striking.
Color here for the nth time. The shadow is cool too.
Tough to say which I prefer. I really like the tones in the colour imagr, but I’m really becoming a fan of b\w these days. Either would be a worthy submission in my books.
The figure is perfectly virtical in the composition but I’m wondering if it’s really the wall that’s sloped or the road.
This was taken in Schlomo ha-Melekh Street – in the hill leading from Damascus Gate up to Tsahal Square, which is at the northwestern corner of Jerusalem’s Old City walls. This guy’s sitting opposite the Old City Walls and the road is definitely sloped there!
i liked the black and whit which portrays the moodiness more!
Great shots, Cardinal. Love the richness of the colour. And the soul of the B&W.
I love the b&w shot, especially if the arrow is the focus. The arrow isn’t as noticeable in the coloured shot.
Thank you for the pingback! I really do love these photos of yours.
Thanks Laura! I love your photography too!
Both photos are great, perfect composed. They tell more than many words.
