Sometimes we just see things in black and white. I took this photo and knew that it would look great in black and white. It reminds me of black and white movies that always seem to have a little more je nais se quoi, than a movie in color. I don’t know why Casablanca keeps coming to my mind when I look at this.
Come back tomorrow, though, if you’d like to see the color version, and you be the judge. For now, I’m sticking to the Black & White to join in Jake’s photo challenge http://jakesprinters.wordpress.com/2012/08/18/sunday-post-black-white/

Very nice photo. Why did you choose to develop it in sepia and not B&W?

I thought it was black and white. Sepia, I thought, has more brown tones. Then, again, I’m new at this photography business.

Thanks Marina. Yes, I think the straight lines with the flowing leaves inbetween set off a couter balance that makes it interesting. Glad you stopped by.

Beautiful Angeline! I think it is the picket fence that adds that vintage feel!

Thanks IT. I think that is what’s so good about black and white…the feelings of nostalgia that it brings to mind. Hope you’ve had a good weekend too.

i’ll be interested to see, Angeline, but it’s a pretty monotone palate, isn’t it, with the cream pickets and pale steps, and the dark shadows. I love it.
