Hi Ray, it's great to see you posting again. I really like the B & W version of this image, it has so much more to offer than the colour version. -
G'day Ray
I'm enjoying both versions - with the mono being very striking indeed

Glad you decided to pop in Ray! I like both versions. Nice and wide with the 15mm and good detail throughout the image. What process is the B&W? You've really got it to look very punchy, which gives it a good look.I Shoot A Canon

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Thanks, Isac. Yes, I love that little 15mm. It renders colours well and has a special sharpness.
For that one I think I made a copy of the RAW and converted to B&W in ACR and then just played with different colour saturations to get the effect I was after. I sometimes do similar in the B&W section of ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate. -
Cheers mate. I love a good B&W and this one really pops. I use a few different methods but as long as we get the result, the journey is the adventure. I have used ACDSee a long time ago but now just prefer ACR and Photoshop. Faststone Image Viewer for quick edits, viewing and culling.

B&W version is my favourite.Better a full bottle in front of me
than a full frontal lobotomy.

I liked the colour version Ray, then after scrolling down and seeing the B&W version, I liked it more. B&W gives a level of abstraction that removes the "pretty picture" element, and with the excellent tonality you achieved makes a more interesting shot with a more artistic feel.Comment

What a nice building but I am not a fan of the people in the shot but can look past them quite easily.
And in tip top condition for such an old building at that great capture.Comment
