B&W or Color? I'm thinking it's a better color composition because of the lack of a lot of shadows.. but as always C&C appreciated..

Little tighter crop, boosted some contrast, some saturation, and red, red, multiply in calculations in PS.

I like the color one. If the top and bottom were cropped a bit more, perfect.

I like the shot. I ran a B&W action plus sharpening and fixed the pin-cushioning.

I like the color shot but I think JohnT is on track with the BW version. It restores some of the window detail that the original B&W conversion dropped out.
