by Nigelk

Grodgeman suggested trying black and white for this my last upload. I've had a go, anyone got any thoughts?

Better version in colour, IMHO

It works but I prefer the color version!

Indeed, the colour version is better, but here, in the B&W, I would have tried gradient darkening the upper half of the sky to give more substance to the content. Cheers.

I did. When I went darker than this I was not happy so I went for quite a subtle darkening. I did spend a little time playing but never felt I was creating a better image than the colour. A different person with a different approach, who knows.
Thank you for your feedback, it is appreciated.
