All of us at times go back and work on images with the intent of improving or learning something new. A couple days ago I converted an image to black and white because of an article I’d read. This is a second image I worked on. It is an HDR image. I’ve cropped the rocks out and run it through Silver Efex Pro 2. When finished I asked a couple of friends which one they liked. One immediately jumped all over the color version while the second one took time to study them, choosing the black and white version. It was at that moment I realized it was unnecessary to compare. Each version would stand on its own. Each will be liked or dislike for a thousand reasons. There was no need to compare.
