Title: Brighton Beach
Post by: ahbnyc on July 01, 2013, 12:12:14 am

Took this picture of coffee shop on Brighton Beach Brooklyn boardwalk back in March.  I thought it was interesting and curious whether anyone else thinks so.  I have attached both color and black and white versions -- I think that each strikes a different mood, but I prefer the color.

I think it needs colour; there isn't enough texture to make the b&w version interesting.

I find the B&W version a bit flat. The other version really comes to life with those bright colors.

Likewise, the color version (and I generally prefer B&W).
