It looks like a very photogenic parade, and must have been very colourful too, so what is your thinking behind the B&W shots?

Nice! - got me thinkin' also. I have some night shots from newyears, think i'm going to see how they work with a bw conversion.
Thanks for the inspiration :)

Good question! Some of these are shot with high ISO (3200) and the color doesn't come out as good as I expected (it's too dark and I forgot to bring my flash unit!!) That's why I tried the B&W conversion and I like this B&W version better.

That makes sense then! Very photojournalistic compositions.
