I don't agree about mono, John has lovely subdued colours that match the subject so well. In mono it might go a bit flat. Personally I would crop off the left edge which would lose the red thing and that concrete bit and the arch too.

I'm with Mike W. Super colours. Black and white would be a terrible waste.

It's great that there are so few clues to the date (other than the Haras fencing, but that is barely noticeable). It could have been taken a hundred years ago.

These engines are all about colour and brass, keep to the colours I like it.

I agree with the colour but I tried a B/W and Sepia and they were both just as nice and I'm not a B/W fan,

John, this is an awesome and beautiful shot, and remember you can have both.
