Ok, I don't often ask this, but I went back through some shots I hadn't processed from earlier this year and found this one. I like both versions, but am interested in your thoughts.

    I like the muted blue-red-gray color scheme of #2 a lot. #1 is an awesome black and white, but the colors on #2 are just the right seasoning.

    As it stands, I prefer the B&W. I don't much care for the blue cast on the buildings and it looks to me as if the red in one of the jackets is clipped. ne_nau.gif

    Color. The reds and blues make the shot much more interesting.

    Let me break the tie...

    I like the color CUZ blue and red are really the only colors showing (minus one yellow box...) and they complement each other so well. AND there is the little red crossing signal man that would be so unnoticed otherwise!clap.gif

    Color. The B&W would be good, but as said by others, the jackets are kinda lost.

    Seems as if the vote has fallen safely on the colour side. Sort of odd for this group :Dmwink.gif Thanks for the feedback.
