Well, I gotta go out on a limb (probably by my self), but I like the darker one. For me, the white one is too stark. If I close my eyes and then open them, the white jumps out at me before I see the photo.
<font color=indianred>I agree. I have never liked the stark white mat/black metal frame combo. White is for refrigerators, IMHO. I do many b/w images with a combo of Artique 4849 Nickel for a top mat, Artique 4833 Graphite underneath, a fillet between the 2 mats of LJ 147974 Pewter Manhattan, and to top it off, a frame of either 237974 or 437974 Pewter Manhattan depending on the size of the image. This combination stays away from the stark black or white mats and looks smashing on most anything in black/white or shades thereof.</font>
With the darker one, her leg and hand are the first thing I see. And is it my computer, or is there something red behind her leg? I don't see it at all with the white mat.
<font color =indianred>Betty, I believe that is a reflection of Marc's arm just above and below the model's leg. Either that or he is doing a horizontal pirouette.Part of the difference in the way these 2 photos appear is in the amount of light in each image. The bottom photo has a lighter overall appearance which would make everything in the image appear lighter. (Compare the backgrounds behind the frame on each photo).</font>

Just to add a word or two here:
I take the pix with the frame laying on the ground, face up, and hold the camera above it. Hence the funny pose for my arms.
As for the blacks and whites. It is Crescent 6989. A rather black black. It is metering and reflection.
The black does actually look better in person. You do see the hip and hand first.
Duh! I went back a day or two later and could actually see that! Don't know what I was thinking.Originally posted by Marc Lizer:
