A couple of ladies in colour and black & white

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

These are some shots from the ACMF Charity Ball I was photographing a few few weeks ago that I've now just processed, but I can't decide which ones I prefer... colour or black & white!:

1st in B&W (ie: the 2nd) ;)

Other one in colour - I think the B&W treatment is too harsh in that last one :)

I agree with Leon. First image in b/w, second in colour.

Well I'm normally a real b&w fan but here I like both colour shots. The first shot has a lot of digital noise and the I think the colour image carries that better, if it was shot on fast grainy film I would probably feel differently. The second image has good lighting and colour incluing background.
