The February B&W PAD challenge started by Gary Winters - http://www.pbase.com/digitalgee/feb2006 - is really making me think about my photography.
Yesterday's picture was born to be a colour picture - flat contrast, little or no texture yet really strong colours which shouldn't be hidden. Whereas, this one didn't really need the desaturation. It had no colour but it does have light, shapes and texture. So doesn't this make it a 'natural born' B&W image.
Is it not reasonable to say that images are either naturally B&W or naturally Colour, and that as photographers we shouldn't be afraid to go with the flow - accepting a mix of work depending on what serendipity throws our way?
Any thoughts?
