Hey Larry. You're right. The B&W one is better. Much better. But it's always nice to be able to contrast the color versions against the B&W conversions.
I think that this is a great example of an image that was meant for moonchrome.

This is nice. But compared to the black and white, it's weak. I agree with almo, that it's nice to see them both, though. The black and white one just feels colder. When I look at the b&w version I feel like my finger would freeze right to the metal. The backgound in this one takes away the icy feel and softens the texture.

I think you are right John. I never gave a second thought to the B&W presentation on that image. I think I saw it in B&W when I took it. Some pictures are just like that. When I first started photography I went for about three years and didn't take more than a dozen rolles of color. I learn to see in balck and white with a camera in my hand.Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
