You may be wondering why I chose to create this in black and white instead of leaving it in color. I like the peaceful feeling I get from this photo and the way the kayakers blend into the surrounding waters. I found the bright colors of the kayaks distracting. As you can see, this is a minimal photo with a lot of negative space. The colorful kayaks wouldn’t have changed that feature. It’s just that the kayaks would stick out too much from the whole. And although, the color was nice, I feel this photo in black and white is a more interesting.
