Boston Downtown in Black and white - photo by Quiltworks

This is a picture I took last weekend in Boston downtown.  The pond was still empty, and the photo in color did not look all that interesting, but when I converted it to black and white all of a sudden I thought it looked rather nice!
This is my contribution to Scenic Photos and Shadows

the monochrome seems to bring out the shadows more - nice shot - i really like Boston as a city

The old church keeps its classic style as the modern urban skyscape sprouts up around it. Steeples and shadows are a fine combination, keeping the Hub (where we are going for wedding in June) the classic microcosm of old and new!

Lovely - I haven't yet been to Boston ... but it has just moved up the list of places to visit!

I love Boston! Haven't been there in years but have good memories! And I love your shadow shot! The monochrome really highlights the shadows! Hope you have a great weekend!

Perfect for black and white. I can imagine all the photo ops in that city... How I would love to visit that city!

Funny how removing the color gives it depth and a sense of history...cool shot in B&W.

You're right - sometimes black and white is so much better than colour. The trees in your shot are beautiful, so delicate.

wonderful in B&W!

Paula Scott said...

I so agree! I feel the need to do that from time to time. We don't have live our lives so saturated, do we? Beautiful shot.

This is a great shot of shade in the shadows... the photo almost looks vintage too... Nice!

I find that happens too ! You change it to B&W and it can look amazing .. a totally different character to the picture : )

Great job.
