I always thought Color was spelled colour seems to be an American english thing dropping the u , any way couldn't decide whether to post this as a Color or B&W so put up both.. This is the harbour/harbor (what has the US got against U's) in Kinvara , where boats were getting a lick of paint before been put back in the water, The Atlantic seems to have been out for the day as well, maybe the Yanks pinched it to drown some U's,,,,
Ta ta... *some* of us Yanks (though I was born in the south, to be exact) respect the diversity of the "u" and consider to whom we're writing. Spending half of each year in the Canadian maritimes, I now easily slide from California neighborhood to Nova Scotia neighbourhood and back again... SO...in this instance, to my eye, your colour photo is most pleasing to me, perhaps because, as I mentioned before, your processing skills are so amazing!
Since colo(u)r guides our eyemovements we experience the same image in colo(u)r an b&w totally different. Comparing both or seeing colo(u)r first makes the b&w seem flat. That's why you cannot just make a colo(u)r picture simply b&w using a filter. You need to decide what object in the b&w version shoud get focused and then make it so. Just my opinion.
