Cheers all,
thanks for the comments on the boat, I have not done anywhere the amount of landscape i would like and even less conversions of landscape to B&W. I think that was my third! So really appreciated your views. A few people asked to see the colour and a lots referred to it, so in case anyone was interested i thought i would post the finished (until someone points something out) version!
As i said the B&W boat was taken this weekend and i have wanted to go there to take a a shot for b&w conversion for about a year since i took a picture of the boat at dusk and dawn.
Personally i think they all have a place though undoubtedly the colour is more dramatic.
Thanks again as ever all C&C welcomed

And the final B&W version, based on your feedback again only if you are interested, Cheers everyone - I'm off to dungeness soon so will bore you with boats again in the not too distant future I hope!!!!

The colour images have more impact but as you say Phil B+W also has its place. The two colour images are stunning and I would be struggling to chose my fave one. Look forward to more boats!
Nick.

Colour every time for me. Dungeness has a great deal to offer in respect of a bye gone era of a what used to be a fishing industry. Invoked a great deal of comment when I posted my effort in Man & Nature gallery. Agree with Nick on the impact of colour. Would the B&W with more space increase it's impact?

Phil i know i'm old fashioned but the first one really rocks my boat(excuse the pun) each to their own.

I much prefer the colour versions Phil - I do like B&W, but sometimes they can be too sinister looking for my tastes
In this post, no 1 does it for me.

Love number 2 Phil, they are all good however but 2 stands out of me.

I can see I'm going to be in a minority of one, but number 3 for me, b&w really suits the subject in my opinion. Glad to have had the colour versions for comparison though.
