Treatment Plant - gritty reality version

This is an alternative version of the image that is posted in this album at tomorrow's date. I mentioned that I had hesitated between the stylised version that I actually posted and this 'gritty reality' version - a number of commenters asked to see this version so I am posting it in this empty slot.

I prefer this B&W version, excellent subject for it with textures.

[Jocasta]

I also prefer this version. In b&w it simplifies all those lovely lines and curves. Also like the range from white to black and all those tones in between.

[Islandgirl]

Oh I like this version better..............the strong contrasts and textures.

[Ukandie!]

I really liked the color version, but I agree with the others I prefer this one.It showcases the lines, curves and textures. I can see why you had a hard time deciding which to post and am happy you shared both.

[Graeme Stevens]

What a difference - much prefer this one

[Margaret Obey]

It's great in b&w. Seldom prefer the lack of colour but in this case I do! Fav

[Dianne]

Looks good.

[Joyce]

This gritty version conveys a much stronger sense of it's industrial use as well as being a great capture of lines shapes and shadows. Unsure about my preference they covey such different messages

[Shanne]

the building works well in b&w, but I find the clouds distracting

[Joan Robillard]

Me too. Now how much are you kicking yourself.

[Fisher Family]

I like the atmosphere of this picture, it really is moody for me. I like the b&w best of the two. Katharine

[Rachel]

Fabulous b&w
