Which One?

I have this one picture that I really like and generally other people seem to like a lot, too. I have too versions of it, the original color version and a black and white version. My question is, which one is better. On one hand I like black and White photography, but on the other hand I really like the colors of the original, So what do you think?

Random Photographs

Since I have so many random old photographs on my computer, I am just going to post some of them at a time here in posts just like this, maybe like five or ten at a time until all of my random old pictures run out. Here is the first round.

One of my cousins looking out of our front window.

A Neighborhood cat that always seems to be hunting the gophers in our front yard.

A Japanese Pagoda and it's gardens.

The Almond Courtyard at the Winchester Mystery House.

The light house at Point Sur.

Don't go in the dark hallway!

My cousin's cat Sparkle.

The almost full moon during a beautiful sunset.

A pond near the town I live in.

Some crows.

Old - Panorama

A while ago, I entered a contest on DeviantArt.com for a new camera. The contest was to create a panorama shot. I came up with two different ideas for this contest, unfortunately I did not win but I thought I would put the different versions of the two pictures to see what others think the best versions of the pictures are.

The first ones are of a path me and my family walked on while we were picking up my cousin from where she gets dropped off at from school (She takes the bus). First is the version that I submitted for the contest.

Next are the other versions I made by changing the brightness and colors and stuff like that. Here they are...

This is actually the original picture.

Third version.

Fourth Version.

Black and White Version.

This is the next one that I entered in the contest, these are all my shoes, I digitally removed the brand names and labels from the shoes.

This last one is one I took on the same day as the first one, I did not submit this one because some of the areas of the fence did not match up very well and it looks kin of weird, but I will show it here anyway.

Huck the Duck

A quick post about our family duck Huck.

The story of how we have a pet duck is rather a sad story. About four months ago, we were driving up to some relatives house for a special occasion. On the way there, about half way to be exact, there was some commotion up on the road ahead. It was a family of ducks that had started to walk out in the middle of the freeway, unfortunately all of Huck's siblings were hit. When driving past, my father realized that one of them was still moving and so he slowed down, in the middle of the freeway and stopped traffic to catch this little baby duck that had survived. He brought him into the truck and from then on we had a pet duck. We did try and release him at a nearby pond where there are other wild ducks. He flew off and we thought we would never see him again, but to our surprise, here he comes swimming up to us and stayed with us never going back towards the other ducks and so we took him back home. He lives with us still happily.

Kasumii Pokemon Trainer Card

A while ago, I made a set of Pokemon Trainer cards for my family members. I also made one for myself to use for Deviant ID on Deviant Art. I couldn't put it up for a log time because I put my age as 18, but that hasn't been true up until a week ago. So I put it up finally and thought I would put it here as well.

It is mostly blue, the person is the same person from my "Froslass Gijinka" just with changed colors. The Pokemon featured on it are some of my favorites of all time, they include; Lumineon, Dragonair, Kirlia, Sunflora, Vaporeon, and Skitty. Almost all of it except for the pictures of the Pokemon, the Pokemon sprites, and the Badges are original, I made it completely on Paint. I tried to make it with the best Japanese that Google Translate could offer, I also looked at a real Japanese trainer card from one of the games for references.

Here it is:
