I agree with Shel, the colour one has more impact. Maybe it's all psychological, but once I know that a colour photo has been desaturated to b&w, it just doesn't work. If I'm not told? I probably wouldn't notice.
But, that being said, the muted colours ~do~ work better than the b&w here. Not sure about Shel's crop. I kind of like that phone booth (is that what it is? I've never really looked before) in there. It works both ways, but I have a slight prefered with it in. Not so much because I like the phone booth, but for me it works better seeing the end of the building - maybe it's because one sees more grey sky, I don't know.

Whatever, it's no mundane shot, IMHO. I really like all versions of it.
cheers, frank

Hi,
Not mundane at all ...
The color version has more impact. The muted colors and the hint of red make this pic far more interesting than the B&W photo. Looking at it I thought that a slightly different crop might make it a stronger image, albeit a different one. What do you think?
