Colour or BW.

I think I prefer BW.

Another from yesterday in Plymouth;

I am always a fan of high contrast BW.

I am also for BW. The second image is also very nice .

The third image is a super B&W presentation. Strangely for me and my preference for B&W for most things except nature, I actually prefer the colour rendition between the first two. It is the left hand side of the image which sways me. The B&W version is a little bright (in film days would have said it needed an orange filter) where in the colour version the blue sky and its reflection in the shop fronts provide a better balance.

B&W and straighten them up.

Thank you for your comments guys.
The top left did need checking in pp, I originally thought highlights were at fault, but a cable was exactly in line with where white high cloud started.

Straightening was done perhaps too much or too less,as the street runs downhill, and paving has a vee shape almost for rain run off/drainage. Well that's my excuse

I love turning noisy colour images into BW shots. I'm from the wrong generation to have enjoyed the heyday of film BW grains but even this digital noise is fun to use.

That third image has such a lovely balance to it. The texture in the sky is a winner.
