Nice place you have there Genster......could probably do with a bit of work though!! :lol:

Ilike your shots, but i like urban shots even more in B&W

Nr 1 is my favorite, great composition and to me the only one that works in color.

but its just taste!

Thanks Marcus and 5four
@ 5four: I was hesitating a while between color and black & white. In hindsight, I think you're right.

I think 2 & 9 work well in colour but the subject does lend itself to gritty B & W

It is a very good set of urban photografy. Is a particular place...

Thank Gab. Its was a two times 175km ride, but it was worth it

Must say Genster that I think you chose wisely. The colours is what really makes these shots 'come alive'.

Sometimes it's hard to choose I'm glad you like it the color photos Marcus.

For me, no doubt, the colour works very well here emphasizing the effect of most of the scenes that would lose one dimension in B&W (like above mentioned #1 but also other).

All are fantastic in colour, IMO. When I looked at them, it never occurred to me that they might look better in B&W, as I was just enjoying them as they were. I think, in the case of the graffiti pics, that B&W would not do them justice. Some of the other pics might work in B&W, but if the colour already works well, there's not much point changing them to B&W, unless it significantly improves the picture, which, in this case, I would doubt, as the pics are already fantastic as they are. However, that being said, subjects of dilapidated structures do tend to lend themselves well to B&W/sepia, so...
