I like more white /black pictures, i like maybe because are more natural, more classy, and all are based to form, not color...if are to many colors in a picture, we forgot about what is in a photos. Is like a art, not as a mirror. What kind of pictures you like more? And why?

Your avatar say all about how much you like colors, i like your avatar. But as i like black and white photos, i like movies like this too, in special movies who are real big...as Casablanca in white and black, was a real great movie.

I think it depends on the picture. I went to this one place where the apartment buildings were painted very vibrant colors. I got some great photos of them and the colors really pop. I have also taken photos of older houses and other buildings that are not necessarily colorful. I converted them to black and white and they looked amazing. One of my favorire subjects to photograph is the sky. I look for interesting cloud formations and try to take pictures at dawn or dusk when the sky has different colors. In this case color is the winner. So it really depends on the subject. But I admit that I am fond of black and white photos.

Colored pictures are nice to see when the photographer wants to portray something that portrays action, such as a picture of a drag race; or something like adventures. On the other hand, white and black is best used when someone wants to portray an emotion, affect or feelings.

As art form i like a lot black and white photos, but as real imagines, i like color photos, are more realistic. I like a lot old pictures, from my grandparents, who all are black and white, are so romantic, i don t know..have something very special.

I think it depends! I prefer Black and white to emotional or expressive pictures, because the BW transmits the message! But color photos are much better for the majority of the nature pictures, for example, where the colors brings life to the picture!
