Ponte dei suspiri

This photo has since been posted in the original colour version. I

find that this black and white version is not too bad. What is your

opinion ?

I think the black & white gives this photograph a very elegant feel. The tones are terrific and the overall mood is quite peaceful. Well done.

I really like the tonal range and the lighting in this shot.

Maybe I even prefer the b&w. I would prefer, maybe, the bridge to be less highlighted.

Lovely. The textures, tones, perspective, that second bridge in the distance . . . great shot, either way.

i like it. greate prospective and contrast.

I like the lighting. Works well in b&w.

je aime cette photo, except for the noise in the black of the sky.

Good improvement in the highlighted parts. Good image now.

Thank you all for your comments. Paul, I can't see the noise in the black of the sky.

Henri, after looking in details I think they are jpg artifacts.

J'aime beaucoup ce traitement durement contraste, peu conventionnel et peu 'romantique' du pont, il met remarquablement en valeur l'architecture. Tres superieur a la version couleur - egalement en raison d'un ajustement des niveaux plus correct (le pont apparaissait assez surex dans la version couleur)

Great perspective and composition. I only hope that the reflection of light on the water wasn't cut in the middle. Regards, kyle

That?s great in black and white Henri !

Excellent black and white.... I agree that is may be improved by toning down the bridge...powerful depth of field and shadows.
