Black and White or Color?

I photographed my boyfriend's grandmother's earring. I photographed it in my room in the afternoon.

I like the one in color, because I like the shine of the earring and the way the colors work together. The line of hair is the same color as the earring.

I think the image is more powerful in color because more emphasis is placed on the earring.

I am still able to achieve the mood and feel of color in the black and white image. The earring still gives of its splendor and dignity.

I photographed some objects I found on my bedside table. I photographed this in the afternoon in my room.

I like the image in black and white more because it ages the objects.

It is more powerful as a black and white image because it reminds me of a pirates trove in an old movie.

The mood is more solemn in the black and white photo because the objects seem forgotten. Whereas in the color photo, the objects are more cheerful and seem that they were well used.

I photographed my cat Gustav in my front yard in the late afternoon.

I like the one in color because the colors blend well and the grass is more distinct.

It is more powerful in the black and white image because it seems almost comical. The cat is trying to be a lion and the black and white is trying to make the cat more majestic than he is.

The mood in these photographs is very playful. In black and white, it is still very playful and "colorful" because you can feel the attitude of Gustav.
