It’s Paula’s After Before week, she asks that we post the same image, in black and white and in colour. It’s a good way to see what works in monochrome, especially if like me, you don’t think of trying it.
Here’s my after, it’s not quite the usual reflection, the window had a stick on mirror so that the people inside could see out, but you can’t see in.
And before,
Any preference? Paula has a beautiful Corsican sea scene, take a look here.

I’m not sure. Horses for courses, I think. Each one tells a different story. I was surprised by the palette when you transformed it into colour.
I’m with Meg!
Ooh you’ve got us all confounded hon! Colour I think but I enjoy the drama of the black and white. Hope you had a good weekend xx
Enjoy them both, good shot!
This is gorgeous, Gilly 🙂 The colour one looks like a painting. I quite fancy both of them.
I like them both. The color photo shows the green in the plants but the B&W is mysterious. It feel like we’re peeking. Have a great week, Gilly.

Both are good but Black and white timeless.
My vote!
The colour one looks like a painting. Very pretty. Normally I’d say black and white, but this time I think I have to say colour!
The B&W looks sharper, but oh, I love terracotta pots and flowers always look better in colour (to me).
The people seem to disappear in the black and white photo 🙂
BnW is nice. I really like the pots and flowers in color though.
Hey Gilly .. love the mono! 🙂
