I had a similar problem with this winter scene from Parc Jarry. I LOVED the black and white version, personally, but most people I tested it on preferred the colour version, which I didn’t like. So I came up with a third version that accomplished much of the same as the black and white, but in colour. #montreal #photos #photography 5/6

That same photo in colour except with the blue toned down.

That same photo of the family except in colour. The sunset is bright yellow. The shadows are bright blue. The shapes in the picture are less distinct

A family looks out on the sun setting over a frozen pond in the park. It is in black and white which makes the shadows and shapes obvious

So, what is the “trick” that helped me enjoy the colour photos more? Turns out, one of the basic approaches to colour in photography and cinematography for decades has been to use fewer, more distinct colours in frame at a time, irrespective of the saturation. The best time to handle this is obviously during capture, but it’s also a useful kind for post-processing 6/6
