Singin' in the Street, Take 2

Yesterday, I posted a color photo and asked for feedback whether it was too distractingly wide. And based on the wonderful comments, I worked on this black and white version. HOORAY for our 365 community!

I like the bw idea. Ibalso miss the vibrant colors. I think you have multiple approaches that have individual merits! Must have been great to witness.

I like how my eye is drawn on the diagonal from the tower holding the videographers to the singer and back to the photo guy on the ground. Well composed.

Both tell a story. This one is more artistic, the other more documentary style. Superb POV and processing to use the whites and highlights to identify the important elements of the composition. Fav

This one has a stronger appeal for me. The earlier bright light on the right was distracting and the wider field of view left our singer lacking a big stage. Now, my eye is drawn directly to her. Nice editing job!

PS... the only thing I would add is that it wants a straighten, but that is nbd and my obsession. ;)

Great fun. Thanks for also including the other version. Great capture!

[Issi Bannerman]

Super. But it SO needs to be viewed on black!

[Richard Sayer]

I agree with @rosiekerr - both comments! I'm suprised though that nobody has suggested the crop of this one with the vibrant colour of the other one.

I love your title and this photo in B&W. I like the one in color too though. FAV

Perfect other than a bit on a tilt
