I like this alot. But I would lke to see the colour version

See the entry thread, of the 'Soft' competition, or have a scroll down the chat thread of the same competition.

Liking both versions of this picture B &W works for me, great.

Thanks Jeff.

I know what you mean by Cliche shot, but you don't see many people doing this sort of thing these days. Personally I prefere this mono version but accept that the colour version is ideally suited to the comp theme

Thanks Andrew. Someone on Flickr called it a 'classic,' and that sounds much better than cliché! The advantage of having two versions is, that I can post the mono version as a normal gallery image, so people can comment if they want to.
