There is a folder on my computer with the name “fun rework”. As I come across an interesting old photo I will drop a copy into that folder. When I have some time on my hands I take a look and see what I can do with those images.
Here is one from back in 2014.
Which way do you think it works better? Color or black and white?

This is fantastic. I got to say that the monochrome still registers the missing colors, plus it creates more texture, especially in the foreground. Great example!
Thank you, Egídio,
It is amazing how our brains fill in missing colors. You are very right, B&W lets textures rule.
There is something so timeless with the monochrome beach image.
Thank you, Pamela,
Monochrome does something to make us look at the image rather than visit the scene in our minds.
Black and white. For me it’s because monochrome makes the trees the stars of the image.
Thank you, Paul,
Indeed, the details and light of the tree trunks come out better in N&W.
