Day 34 - Blands Cliff

These murals are on a little troden alleyway about 100 yards from the sea front. My wife said the colour version was better, but she was wrong ;-)

[Nic L Taylor]

see now i WANT to see the colour version but i looooove this a fav

[Heidi]

What a great shot! Love the contrast.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Wow! That is a storming shot! Fav for me too.

[Rik]

@ditto44 @heidit @steampowered Thanks guys. Nic, I might shoot this again when the light is a bit better, and I'll post the colour then

[Gill W]

Love this! Think it really works in B&W, but really interested to see how it looks in colour!

[Joanne Hunter]

Composition is great. Love the contrast of the winding road to the busy murals.

[Margaret Brown]

Can't say I have ever been here, you live and learn, love the light and shade.

[mum13/Michelle]

Oh I love this! great shot. A fav

[Kate]

This is awesome Rik. The leading lines are wonderful and a perfect balance to al the l murals. Fantastic job.

[Leah]

Love the lines and contrast. Great shot. And the black and white is awesome!

[Dave Vaughan]

The murals may add interest, but even without them the curve of the lane as it climbs the hill makes a superb image. I like this b&w image.

[Tracy Bousfield]

Love the lines and the contrast. B&W gets my vote:-)

[Rik]

@gillg @mamamia @craftymeg @michellelittle @masosy @lkread @dave_rv @tracybeautychick Thank you all so much for your kind words. I think I'm going to shoot again at some point at sun set/rise to see if I can get the colours to do something. I'll probably end up processing it it b&w again, though :-)

[Rachel Withey]

The textures look great in black and white. I nearly always favour black and white over colour though.

[Alison]

Superb bw Fav! And follow if not only to keep up to date with you n your lady wife's 'battle' of colour v bw :)

[Rik]

@rachelwithey @alisonp Thanks guys. My wife now has this as the wallpaper on her iPad, so I think I may be winning the battle :-)

[Rik]

@alisonp Alison, I'm using a D3100, so I would think the D5100 will have something similar. It's in the Setup menu on my mine

[Dana]

great lines and texture!! the black and white makes it pop

[kirpppu]

B&W is just perfect with this shot. Beautiful capture!

[Stevie]

Great B&W processing!

[Morné Grewe]

such a cool shot!

[Julie]

Fav'd - very nice!

[Miley]

Cool shot. Steep hill!

[Al Bailey]

This is a gorgeous shot ...... I love the way your eye is drawn upwards :)

[CabinFest]

Wow - that's stunning. I really want to see the color shot, too!

[martine]

Great shot, I'm curious about the colored version

[Spirrow]

I agree - she is wrong. The busy shapes are perfectly relieved by the curvy path - so well composed. Love it. Nicely done.

[Mel]

Wicked shot, love the contrast and those curvacious lines, and those walls are so intriguing, I want a proper look at 'em! fave for me :)

[dh]

A wife is never wrong!

[Dennis Cacho]

Nicely composed.

[Deb]

Awesome shot! :-)

[Elizabeth Goodine]

I think your wife was wrong,too! this is amazing.

[Tim]

Wonderful shot Rik. Great light and tone, terific lines. Great shot.

[Hemu]

Masterful....why not put the color version too...and give a chance to see what you wife saw!!

[JH]

Yep, this is nice ;-)

[Miss Mercy]

I think it looks wonderful in b/w.

[Cathy]

You should post the coloured version and let us decide...besides, your wife is NEVER wrong. lol . Great shot

[Katharine Hubbard]

Super cool shot - love the monochrome :)

[paula365]

this is such a great shot! B&W is perfect, but would love to see it in color too:)

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

Stunning... love the curve of the path!

[lindseying]

nice- the b&w makes it feel cluttered in a good way

[AutomaticSlim]

Somehow I'd missed this one - it's excellent and well worth a fav.
