The Plague of Expired Fruit in B&W

I'm going back to the B&W theme of my recent postings. This image is actually an artwork in a courtyard at the Basel Minster church in Basel, Switzerland. The fruits and vegetables are actually an anodized metal and have virtually no color. Conversion to a B&W gave them a very sinister appearance which I did not appreciate in my original editing.

Color is much nicer. With color you can easily tell what you are looking at, and it's far more real.

I think of it the other way. Although it varies with the subject matter, I often like B&W because you're looking at the subject, not just the colors.

See my response to the previous comment with the original photo. You are spot on.

Please revisit this post and see the response I gave regarding the color of the original image. Would you say I improved on the photo by B&W processing? To me, the original in color was worthless.
