    Hi Newlyweds!  :)

    We're getting some prints done and we are narrowing it down to a couple to figure out which one to use on our Thank You cards.  (and maybe possibly a canvas).  Which version of this print do you like better?

    I really like the colour one too. The vintage colour one would look better if it was a close up of the two of you. The colours of the scenery help to make the photo in the first one :)

    The vintage one is beautiful, but the colors on the full-color are so stunning that I think it would be a shame not to see them all. :)

    Colors make it easy to tell it's you, plus it's grateful cheery vs. artsy drama. :) Leave them with the happily ever after image...it's inspires love.

    This was REALLY hard to decide, but I voted color. It's just too amazing to not show the guests. Save the vintage one for a framed photo in your house!

    Btw, that is a GORGEOUS shot. ;)

    I have to say the color one, too. I love black and white, but more so for close ups and simple backgrounds. With a background like that, the color makes the picture.

    I like the vintage one. I really like the way you two stand out against the landscape and I like that the sky and clouds aren't drastic white on bright blue.

    I know I'm in the minority here, but I think the color one is just too bright. If you can crop it and still maintain a composition that is as strong as this is, that might work. If you remove some of the sky and grass it'll be easier to focus on you as a couple.

    Of course, either photo is great!

    I love the full color version. The colors are so vibrant and clear, it's almost unreal. If someone said it was a promo picture for the show "Pushing Daisies" I would believe it! So cute!

    I think color is more appropriate for the landscape aspect of the shot.  You lose the ocean altogether in the antiqued one.

    I'm going to join the minority and vote for the vintaged one for the large print (that is, unless you want those bright colors in the room it will go in). It looks more like an art piece to me.

    However, as a photograph, the color is stunning. There are certainly times where a photo calls for color, others b+w -- This is a color time. I vote to use the color for your thank you cards and such for sure.

    I actually prefer the vintage one but that's just where my taste lies, I don't really go for pics with lots of bright color...Either way, it's a beautiful picture!!

    I actually like the vintage one better. Looks more artsy. Good for hanging on the wall.

    I like the first picture with color more.  It really brings the two of you out whereas the gray picture doesn't have as much effect.

    I LOVE the color. The vintage is nice but it looks like an overcast day while in the color it looks like perfect wispy clouds. Does that make sense?
