It's likely the angle of the shot, but what an odd looking body. The neck length in relation to everything else is crazy.

Funk is a quality poster.

I've often wondered what many of these photos would look like in color.
And, while it's wonderful to see them in this alternate condition, I find that I prefer the B&W versions of most.

I don't know if it's simply that I'm used to seeing them that way, or do they "lose something" when altered?

i agree they do lose something in their transformation into color and the quality of the coloration depends on the original b and w pic.

I don't know if its the quality so much as the "mystique."

agreed at the time the below pic was labelled as the greatest exercise photo ever..color won't have had the same impact..esp considering the year..

And I thought it was just Me
either being nostalgic or the rose tinted glasses effect
Much prefer them in their original Black & White
Though its great to see them in colour

Maybe posting the original & the colour one side by side
for comparison.
