The same shot as yesterday, but IN B&W. Not sure which one I prefer!
Constructive criticism (or just downright criticism!) is welcome and appreciated for all my shots!
Due to the fact that I'll be working on site in Scotland for the forseeable future, I probably won't be able to respond to comments straight away, but will try my best, and will definitely get back to you eventually!
As always, feedback and constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated!

I much prefer yesterday's shot, Dave. It had so much more life, color and texture.

@Michael Skorulski: I think you're right Michael, but I still think this has something going for it!
Well Dave, you certainly don't make it easy - do you? I really liked yesterdays - I loved the rust and the way it bled into the wood. But this is a great B&W. I didn't really notice the stones yesterday. So I think I like them both equally, but for entirely different reasons.

@martie: Thanks for the feedback Martie
This is nice but I agree with Michael. The color of the rusted metal really adds to the shot in color.

Nope, this one don't do it for me... definately the colored version Dave!

@Ina: Thanks for the feedback Ina!
Perhaps a tighter crop would have done it for me, no sky and more emphasis on the rocks.

@Graham Russon: Interesting point Graham, I might give it a try!
I actually like the B&W. It brings the focus to the fence instead of to the sky etc. Nice shot.

@Michael: Thanks Michael
Definitly yesterday's one Dave. B&W seems to flatten the image

I like the colour of natiure in your pictures. By B & W it looks more rigid and unknown.

@Forouz: Interesting view Forouz!
Though i am a great fan of B/W images, this image is best when it is colored. The B/W image seems to make invisible the details in the image that made it stand out as a unique image. For example, the rust that is on the wood just looks like a stain in the B/W image. It's a cool image, but the Color pic shows us your observant eye which pays attention to detail.

@Rags: I think I agree with you Rags, I still like the B&W though!
Ok, I loved yesterday's... But I'm IN LOVE with today's!!! The b/w just gives it such incredible texture that you notice more so. As well you just feel chillier with the salty ocean breeze blowing... not to mention the mysterious shadowy figures in the background. And I now see I'm the only one going ga-ga over today's... hmmm, I never was a conformist!! LOL

@amy: Thanks for the feedback Amy
Well! Yesterday's is nice and shows the rust color - but a tad too busy with all the different coloured textures in it - kinda takes away from the "Rust". This black and white is gorgeous - full of textures - but not fighting with each other for attention! I'll have to tell Amy she wasn't the only one after all haha!

@Anne: Thanks for the feedback Anne, seems to be a divided opinion on this!
Well...the previous one is cheerful, this one is dramatic! The previous one means joys, this one exudes desolation. Two interpretations of the same shot.....what a difference colour makes!
