Excellent composition Mark, the bridge works both in colour and b/w. My pick is the colour with the b/w very close.

Thanks so much Sylvia. So glad you liked them and thanks again for your opinion.

I enjoy B&W photography but in this case I prefer the color version simply because the background to the bridge is too dark to do justice to B&W.

This photo is a great challenge. The whole image is of the same tone, except some of the clouds with the whites. I'm wondering if there is a way in PP to seperate the stone bridge from the background to enhance contrast, the stall-worth of B/W. There are 3 basic zones of tone, the sky, the bridge and its shadow, and the reflection in the foreground. What a fun project. The color separates out the bridge structure better, but might be better if it were lighter.
Frustrating traveling on a bus because you don't get to "work the scene" but this is a great capture on the fly!

For me, the older the landmark, the more it tends to favor b&w treatment.

Both beautiful shots but I like the B&W best. The texture in the bridge is wonderful in to my old eyes is more striking in the B&W. Good job. I have never taken a good image from a tour bus window!

Very tough choice but in the B&W the clouds make the image much more dramatic.
