What a difference between this shot and the one in the post below. Black and white certainly makes a statement. Take away the color and you're left with just the story.
It seems YOU are ready! :-))) The B&W makes a better shot, because we don't see the colors and the today things, but our eyes are attracted by their old fashion clothes, and their hats.Those people made an art of Simplicity, and B&W underlines it.
It's not just the b&w that makes the difference, but the cropping. So interesting, the choices we make and how those choices impact the experience of the viewer of the image.
Your Mennonite photo is PERFECT for black and white. I can almost hear the music!
ReplyDeleteThis subject works exceptionally well in black and white; it harkens to simpler times.

ReplyDeleteCame across an interesting web site the other day, something like "These mennonite girls can cook." For some reason, this shot reminds me of it.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like an old photo. The picture is heavenly too!

ReplyDeleteThe B&W gives the women's 19th century dresses a stark, other-worldly appearance.
ReplyDeleteThis can't live with colour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenerie.

I compared this photo with the one below, monochrome certainly enhances the subect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Monochrome does suit them - there's a constancy about them.
