•  Support Black and white was definitely the right choice here. Cmao20 (talk) 11:13, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Agree with Cmao. Now, a hazy horizon would make it perfect (currently the horizon line splits the composition), but nonetheless this is FP for me. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:11, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose Why B&W? EV is reduced. —kallerna (talk) 06:36, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

• IMO it's the better choice. But please compare yourself: File:Borkum, Hauptstrand -- 2020 -- 2691.jpg And why do you think EV (exposure value) may be reduced? --XRay ^talk 07:35, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

• Of course there's more information in the photo with colours. Remembering the scope of the project, I always prefer non-edited pictures, artistic filters may be used elsewhere. —kallerna (talk) 08:16, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

• Non-edited isn't easy. I always take photographs in RAW. So you need the development. ;-) (And BTW: What do think is a "non-edited" image? Only taken with automatic features of your camera?) And black-and-white itself isn't artistic. Why should I remember the scope? --XRay ^talk 08:19, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

• B&W is definitely a filter, a stylistic device. I think you know what I mean with non-edited images, especially nowadays when the social media influences using of filters etc. in images. —kallerna (talk) 11:33, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

• I think we have different perceptions of what goes on in black and white. You think more of modern with social media, my memory hangs on the legendary Ilford Pan F Plus 50 and another way of developing a photograph. But so be it. --XRay ^talk 11:33, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Simple, very good composition, and I like it much better in black & white. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:01, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
•  Support B&W is about textures and contrasts and here it work very well. --Basotxerri (talk) 10:33, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
•  Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 11:31, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, but I just don't feel any wow from this. I can appreciate the artistic effort, and if I were judging a competition with that as the criteria, it would certainly rank high. But not at FPC. Daniel Case (talk) 16:44, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry these beach chairs are a common photo motif and this scene isn't special enough. Background too busy. The B&W treatment would work if there was a texture contrast between the chairs and the smooth sand/sea, but the sand/sea isn't smooth. -- Colin (talk) 17:06, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
