"Black and white by far the classiest. "
I've got one black and white but its in my private pics and people have said it is the best one! It is in private pics because it has my face on....... ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

Just turning a colour image to B & W doesn't instantly make it better or 'classier'. There's an art to conversions, else you lose all the tonal qualities and dynamic range. Just hitting convert to black and white on your iPhone doesn't do this! |

I quite agree. Personally I think a quality black and white pic is better. Got to say though your colour pics are stunning as well....and not just because of the gorgeous subject

"Depends on the subject.
Also camera and lens quality
This site renders the quality of camera and lens to a negligible level anyway "
You could take a pic as part of a couple on the moon with a hasselblad
But a single women does one on an iphone in a mirror and it will top the fab list
Voting with cocks not eye for a decent pic |

Only fab pics that float my boat / raise my trousers
Or those that I think are honestly gorgeous photos. Never let my cock do my thinking for me, its probably half strangled and concussed ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |

"Good pics,what camera do you use? "
Thank you, Canon 5D MkII and various L Series lenses, though that was took with a Sigma 85mm f1.4 (not open to 1.4 though, obviously, else only her eye would have been in focus...and you can't see that! ) |

"Black and white is a kinder for us that a little older .
But look at glam girls from the 40s and 50s in black and white , very classy "
I could get B&W to make you look 10 years older, or colour to make you look 10 years younger. |

All I was saying was that B&W isn't automatically flattering, increase the structure and contrast by 30% and you can make anyone look 20 years older! None of our face pics on here are photoshopped. And I don't photoshop bodies unless I'm asked to. |

Unappreciated in most circles these days though, unfortunately! Hence, I'm not a full time photographer anymore! |
