Hello Shel, Yeah, quite a difference in the conversions. After looking at them, somehow the strong colors seem to add to the picture for me. The B&W is good, but like I said, you rarely see something like this in color. The color of the clothing and building really work well here. Usually There is too much in the clothing and buildings are too pastel - almost like it was hand tinted.
