An extremely photogenic wall that I just had to snap some photos of. They looked decent in color but I liked them 10x better in B&W...

Neat. I really like #1!

I like #1 the best. I'd be really curious to see what #3 looks like in color.

Slightly different angle, but essentially the same subject matter.

Oh, yes! Thanks!
I like that one MUCH, MUCH better in color.

Haha, yeah! Actually, I think you've changed my mind. That one does look better in color, now that I look at it. The little spots here and there of color across the photo add interest, that and the big spot of texture and color on the left side of the photo.

Grunge...love it! Good eye!

Yeah, #1 is good, and also #3. I'm indifferent to whether #3 is B&W or color, but for me the interesting part is the left side, so I'd crop tighter on that.

I'm reminded of a face behind #1 baring it's teeth. I like the sludgy feel of the concrete/mortar ... very pleasing, interesting image.

Nice I like it. Prefer 1 and 4th in color.

Photos that have lots of lines, or shapes often look really good in B&W.

nice capture, nice idea. I go with the color .
