I processed this photo in color but, I wasn't feeling the colors. So, I tried a conversion in B&W. C&C appreciated. Thanks! :)

To me there's an awful lot competing for attention in this photo. I like the parts of it, but all together it's a bit much/busy for me.

Great capture. Color-version would also look good too.

+ another on the color version. What lens were you using for this?

I like this shot, but would suggest that it needs to be printed out BIG (20"x30" maybe?) to get the impact across. It's all so easy to view these kinds of shots on a screen and think, "nahh", but seriously big, I think your B&W treatment would be knock-out!

Thanks for the feedback Sky. I actually ordered a 20 x 30 in metallic from MPIX. Seeing it on screen sucks cuz' not everyone owns a H-IPS or SVGA monitor. When I compare my TN to my other monitors, the TN just sucks. :)I know for sure that when this is printed, it's gonna look stellar.

Thanks for the feedback Cobra. I can see why it's a bit busy for you.
