Black & White in the street

Good picture with story. But I think it could be greatly improved by cropping the upper part with sky and trees completely out. Just leave the fence, car a kids and you will see how much better it would!
 
Thank you odklizec.
I did looked at such a crop when I post processed this photo, but the uncropped version looked more natural to me. Looking at it again now I agree it is more appealing. Isn't digital photography fun?

Hi, I like these color shots with reduced tonal range... here in Central Europe we can simply wait for winter but you have certainly to be more creative :)
IMHO the crop perfectly emphasizes the reduced color palette and the image gains by the simplified scene without disturbing background. Good job!
 
Me too likes the cropped version best, but I think it should be cropped just a tad more to remove the "triangles" between the fence poles, because they add too much movement to the top edge. It's a very cool (as in :cool: ) image.
