Another black and white stupid contest!! Wake up, we live in a colorful world, not in a black and white color!!! Therefore, these back and white contests should ALWAYS ask to provide the color version of the black and white pictures provided.

It is like asking us to go back to the black and white TVs when we are not in the era of 1080p color TVs and entering the new era of 4K color TVs!!!

"4K color TVs!!!"

Hooray! - we'll be able see all the tripe that constitutes at least 90% of TV programing even more clearly.

And Michael; some pics work much better in black and white. IMO this one does.

Troll. If those are serious comments, I feel sorry for you.

This is a gorgeous image. I can't imagine the color "original" (if indeed there ever was one) being any more striking or impactful.

Black and white has always been an available medium. You must be oblivious to Ansel Adams work. I'm sure he would turn over in his grave if he read your comment. There will always be a place for B&W just as in line drawing. Why limit ones talent to one single medium. I find your comment rude and unthinking.

That is a lovely image. The way the lines flow through simply draw you into it. Quite nice processing too.
