Much, much better! Color, perhaps?

A fine shot, Riaan. I agree with Slobodan. What's it look like in color?

Thank you for looking Slobodan, Russ. I haven't bothered looking at colour as I prefer b&w for this sort of  pic.

Very often colour becomes a veil that masks the integrity of the intent.

I can imagine this image working well in colour but the message might be very different.  The B&W message suffices.

I wonder if, walking into a gallery or museum exhibition if one would voice regret that Edward Weston or Ruth Bernhard or Paul Strand did not shoot in colour?
