Fair play GFK !!! , I had a quick go myself but botched those damn railings

Aha RobertP with the hatred of B&W
. I think the main reason people like B&W is it simplifies the shot , showing more detail & accentuating the textures. This shot in colour has too many colours that detract from what I've just mentioned......well that's my opinion anyway. Not all shots are suitable for B&W conversion though.
Thanks for the other comments guys.
