Wow 2 photos :) Personally I prefer the b&w one - it feels like it has more depth! Have a great time in London Dave - I would have liked to have come along but i'm busy shooting a band this weekend :)

Definitely the frist one. The second one seems a little flat to me.

Have fun at the meetup! Looking forward to the photos.

I much prefer the color shot - somehow more dramatic than the black/white (which feels like a messed up Excel graph to me). LOVE your photos!

I also prefer the colour one. Amazing!

I like the colour and the processing but not the subject. I prefer the colour one of the two, purely due to it being... in colour.

colour :) watch your step!

To me the fence seems to blend into the backgroung on the colour image, particualry at the bottom of the frame.
Where in the black/white image is seems to stand out more.

Personally I prefer the balck/white.

Hmmm... I like them both, but I think I'm leaning slightly towards the mono version, I think the background looks softer in that one.

I like the black and white - a powerful shot of something so ordinary!

I love the Blacck and white one outright...It has a great depth and goes very well with the overall theme of this photo...The broken wire mesh gives you a feeling of accident...or old age...and stuff like the..Black and white complements that...

The black & white one is a little too abstract to be fathomed in black & white! The color one definitely :-)

Dave. Why don't you let someone else (such as your wife) post for you? Even if she doesn't know how.. It can't be all that difficult. Just a thought.

Great photos. I like the colour one most as the fence seems to stand out more. As always, the depth is smashing.

beautiful! very creative. it looks like a doodle on a picture
i like the colour more... it creates more contrast between the fence and the background

I am someone who truly loves color, it is more than just a visual concept for me... but color is light, and to se a monotone image can sometimes have a more "colorful" meaning than a full spectrum image because of how that light is presented to the viewer.
I see these two, and I like the first for very different reasons than the second, but I cannot decide on either.

Nice pics.

colored. amazing.

I have been going back and forth between the two. I am with you. I definitely cannot decide.

Like the first shot but can only view an orange and yellow 'gasometer' that you shot in February when I click on the link. Where's the B&W shot that other people are viewing?

I like the color more also.

Ken... scroll down.

color :)

Interesting looking bunch of wires - it reminds me of a wire frame sculplture. I prefer the pop and zest of the color version. The black wire in the color version just screams there's an artist standing just off to the right of the frame.

The colour image gets my vote too. Hope to be at the meet this weekend.

both are good, but I prefer the simplicity of the b&w.

Colour, but I love colour, so I'm a bit biased. But go colour, you get the great ranges of yellows, greens and cyan. The B&W works well in terms of the sharp contrast between wire and background.

Well, if I had the money I'd come to the meet and take a shot of your arse. :-)

Unfortunately, I spent all my spare cash at the R&B Festival at the end of last month. :-(

Have a nice weekend. Looking forward to the pics and any reports of the fun.

I think the element color adds alot to the contrast and between the organic grass and the inorganic fence. The element of shape emphasizes the similarities between the organic and inorganic. What's left is a very nice composition that has a great deal of visual tension. Two main elements that are the same but different...different but the same...

The color one- (bw is nice too though). I love this little series, you have a great eye for these things! Nice attention to detail.

Interesting concept, the whole 'nature reflected' thing... The criss-crossing fence and the criss-crossing grass... Very clever, I like it. I think I prefer the mono version, as it provides a sharper contrast between nature and man-made.

I prefer the coloured one. Totally understand the situation where you remain undecided about two types of processing. However, the structure stands out much nicer in the coloured version. It tends to blend too much into the background for the B&W one. Just my 2 cents worth...

Have a great time in London!

The depth of the B&W is amazing. The fence feels 3D. I say "Captured"!

It's funny -- I cannot decide either which one I like more. Nice shots though. :)

i like the first shot better.

I prefer the first shot better. The way the extreme black of the wire is on the b&w shot makes it look like somebody took an black line marker to the photo in photoshop.

I prefer the color shot.

I also vote for the color one...

Both are gorgeous.

I preffer the color one ;]

the color one. i think the fence thingy or whatever it is stands out more.

I like the color one.The fence stands out more, and the sky behind it is beautiful.

Of course, the monochrome one has its merits as well.I just wish the sky had more contrast in the monochrome version. Make it stand out a bit more.

Either way, this is a wonderful photo.

Now this is a great shot i love the idea!!!

Incredible detail.

Thanks everyone.

miklos: normally, I would ask my wife to post the entry, but my MT installation is behaving very poorly and it often takes several attempts to get an entry up, including deleting duplicates, rebuilding the indexes, and so on. It's not worth the stress ;-)

Love this shot - beautiful contrast between man made and natural textures. Interesting how how psychology changes in mono. . think you need to see green grass etc for this to work best so prefer colour one! Great work at the moment.

I prefer the b and w's tones. To tones really add interest to the subject. The colour image leaves me thinking "a tangled fence, okay nothing special". The second one has that surreal effect that captures the imagination!

ooh fantastic. i cant decide if i like the starkness of the black in the top shot more or the monochrome of the second.
both shots are terrific!

Nice framing here Dave... -T

I'd be in a dilemma too here.

This is excellent, but I like the duotone version of this shot much better. The duotone version really emphasizes the form of the wire and compares/contrasts it to the form of the grasses, without any distracting colors. Wonderful!
