Here's a recent shot from a walk around downtown.  What do you all think?

Nice composition, but I think I'd prefer it in B&W rather than the cross-processed palette you've employed here.  The fence switching back in the background bokeh sustains the interest.

Thanks C.  I've actually been working on a B&W version, although I'm still tweaking it...

Jason

The B/W is working much better for me. Nice composition / framing. The only little niggle I have is the very shallow DOF, probably unavoidable I expect. But your focus point is spot-on, of course.

For me the B&W version has a good bit of appeal, which the color one doesn't.  I think the colors distracted from the nice forms and patterns.

Interesting comments, as I find the color image striking and the b+w version very flat. The cross-processed look actually works for this image.

+1 for the B&W version.

I agree.  The lomo effect works for some images, but I think the B&W is better here.
