The moment I saw it, I knew that this spot is fantastic for a black and white shot. Just look at the geometry of the light and shadows, the pavement on the street, and the building behind. It's perfect! As there were no pedestrians to walk on the line between light and shadow, I had to ask my girlfriend to do it.
I took this picture in Bologna, and as I have set my camera to save both JPG and RAW, I only had the chance to preview the B&W shot while I was there. After coming back home from the holiday and loading the RAW file in CaptureOne, I finally got the chance to see the photo in color as well. And to be honest - it's equally good! I am therefore posting the color shot too.
Which of the two do you prefer?
Thank you for looking!
