This is a B&W copy of an image I posted several weeks ago. That previously processed image was very noisy and wasn’t very compelling as presented. However I think the image has some value in portraying an intimate interaction, so I converted it to a black and white.
Does this work as a B&W, or should I just can it and move on? Any and all comments would be appreciated, thanks.

Well, I liked the first post, despite the noise, Chuck. However, I think this one works better. It makes the noise look like an old fashioned black and white image, so it fits. I think the composition works very well.
Thank you both. I don’t often consider converting an image to B&W-so I appreciate the feedback.

B&W photography simplifies the image by excluding the color. Even this image is noisy but I agree with Dennis that it looks like old world B&W, where noise was inherent in the image.
Charles: looks like a very compelling image to me. I’m not seeing the noise you refer to, but do see a photo that captures this behavior very well. It’s a keeper! Richard
