Comparing Colour and B&W photo's

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo: Creativity, Etc. : One Thread

I have just started a course. The first assignment looms and something I thought would be quite easy has left me stumped.

I have to compare colour photo's with the same photo in B&W. I have to comment on such things as line, texture, contrast, viewpoint and other such nice things.

I thought this would be easy but actually trying to put it into words is hard. I can see the photo is different but I can't answer why - all of the time.

Are there any hard and fast rules for doing these types of comparisons ? or is it entirely subjective?

Thanks Debs
