Good comp here but i'd love to see the colour version for comparison if you care to show it.

Here is the colour version as requested

In the B&W version I really like the tones and textures. However now that I see the colour one, I think I prefer it. Love the rusty look.

Thanks Ed - I think i find the blacks just a bit overpowering in the BW version.

I most likely have the contrast and clarity pushed on this which would push the blacks, really appreciate the feedback:thumbup:.

excellent sharpness and texture. IMHO very better the b/W version.

Tossup ... it really is. Like black and white to begin with, yet I love the colour one more. Simply because the head of the spike is not so "shiny" in it. Overall, the light and textures are very cool in either format.
