Which one?

Thanks Barefoot - now I am even more confused?

Nice image. Love the building. Colours (no colours) aside, I find it almost too symmetrical, and I find that I wish there was something specific to guide me around or focus on, like if one of the doors were wider open. But that's just me. Again, nice shot.

The color one looks like someplace you might wander into. The black and white looks - foreboding. I'd expect trouble if I went in those doors. The selective coloring invites entry, but you're left wondering if you'd like what you find.

Thanks Doug & Q1.

Doug, I agree an open door (the left hand side of the right set of doors) would add a bit of tension and make it more interesting. Thanks for that observation

Q1 - these are actually a building at the University of Adelaide, so I guess any of the scenarios you describe could be accurate

YEah I have to say the B&W version is my fav as well.

It brings out the texture and the years of weather that show throughout the concrete and stone. It ages the image appropriate to the age of the building IMO, without the distraction of any color.
I agree the lighting is a little flat on it, but thats the nature of the day it was taken. I'd love to see this same picture taken with a hint of sidelighting skipping off the stone to cast come light shadows. Then it would POP!

I like the b/w, but of course I prefer b/w about 90% of the time. I really like the tones in this too.

Thanks Lorey & Doug. At the end of the day I went with the B & W version.
