    Wow! I think in this car both versions have merit. As a rusty object I love to see it I color but your B&W rendition is stunning! :Dthumb.gif

    Federico,
    I can't decide either.
    They are both gorgeous images, but I am starting to lean towards the B&W :)

    That's sunk really good into the ground -- and the sky is just beautiful. You came across this at just the right time thumb.gif

    Either version looks great!

    I like the color version better, but find the dead center horizon to confuse the mind and eye with regard to what the main subject is.

    Try cropping about 25% off the top and see if you think this is a stronger presentation.

    To be clear I like the subject and processing.

    The car is just missing its wheels (and some other things as well!). I like that the missing wheels give the impression that the car is sinking :)

    Thank you for the feedback, Sam. I tried cropping some of the sky but didn't see any improvement on either version (colour or B&W). I agree that in the B&W the elements of the photo compete with each other so it can be confusing to view.

    Thank you everybody for your kind comments, I appreciate them.
