Default Corniche Mist Sandstorm

This was a photo I took a few weeks ago of the Waterside Corniche in Doha when it was experiencing a sandstorm.

Taken early evening in fading light, I photo shopped it to black and white with a yellow filter to make it warmer.

However some will notice that there is maybe a touch of yellow in the black and white, whilst other will only see black and white. I can get each on different pc, so I'm in a bit of a dilemma about which is the true colour ( bw / bw with yellow). Any ideas to resolve this much appreciated.

Nicely composed. If you hadn't said it was sandstorm, I would've assumed (naively) that it was just another fog photo.

What do the people do during a sandstorm? Try to stay indoors as much as possible? (Even though I assume you were outside when taking this photo.)

I do see some yellow. On the color issue, my only suggestion would be to calibrate at least one of your monitors, so that you get true color on at least one monitor.

Nicely done. I really like this. I agree with chip about calibrating at least one of your monitors.
