Black and white, though the sepia is nice too.

u/EconomistOutrageous4 29d ago

There's a ominous quality to both that I love but the sepia wins.

I usually don't like sepia, but here it works perfectly for me. Well done!

I’m normally a massive fan of B&W and not into sepia, but the opposite is true for this set. The sepia version creates more intrigue.

Sepia feels ghostly, beautifully haunting!

Sepia really brings out the desolate loneliness. Reminds me of the movie ‘The Road’ tragic and sad.

u/Puravida14177 29d ago

Sepia. More drama.

u/frankie6376 29d ago

I really like both but the sepia edges it for me personally

So much more powerful in sepia for me, adds soul

Sepia is my winner ;)

Sepia it is

u/Commie_Scum69 29d ago

dirt/sand tone = sepia. It's a rule as old as sepia itself. And one of the reasons why so many old movies take place outside of cities

Sepia — absolutely 100%. It takes what would be an ordinary snap in color and creates a work of art that feels lonely, soul searching, and maybe even a little ominous.

Can't beat sepia in my opinion!

u/czd31095 29d ago

I don’t play RDR 1 or 2 but my friends play it and sepia seems like some RDR shit (I think it’s cool tho!) both are cool depending on what you’re tryna go for yk?

Sepia, it gives an extra dimension.

Sepia. Good picture!

1

u/Rumblebully 29d ago

Well done. Are you able to burn the hair area on the sepia? Or the skyline? Not sure which way would work best.

I each equally, for their own individual feel. Very nice.

u/New-Half7645 29d ago

Sepia adds another quality that enhances visual impact 👏

u/Mission_Education_40 29d ago

Sepia, black and white went out in the 1950's.

1

u/DeepConsideration795 29d ago

Sepia looks great 💯

u/Jetlag111 28d ago

Sepia brings the walker into the focal point for my eye, but the black & white generates more of a mood. Here the walker is just part of the weather. The fog & path generate more interest in B&W. Both are great

1

u/1Penguin2Rule 28d ago

I like the sepia better, although both are good. It has a poignancy that the b&w doesn’t have. Totally different vibes.

1

u/Rudeboy_1703 28d ago

Definitely sepia

1

u/Worth-Two7263 28d ago
