One of the best parts of Boston's Big Dig.

Impressive view, Scott, a neat architectural shot with soaring perspective. I am somehow a bit disoriented or distracted by the toning you apllied to this image, I wonder how a standard BW conversion would look, or perhaps a more unified toning (sepia) ?

I really enjoy the B/W version. Seems like something from out-of-this world.

Agree with Eric, B/W serves the image best.

B&W seems work better.

Looks like I'm in the minority on this one. I actually like the first one best. I particularly like the way the light at the very top center of the shot in this one is more commanding.

Scott, thanks for the two new versions. Interesting thing how a specific toning can modify the perceived atmosphere of a shot. But, in the end, I wonder if, more than modify, it doesn't to some extent take one's eye away from the true subject ? I am therefore much more comfortable with the BW version (N° 2).

Thanks folks for the feedback and helping me choose.
Santiago, I appreciate your thoughts.
This was an image that originally appeared lifeless and flat out of the camera as a RAW file, as many do. In my attempt to make it something, I may have gone too far in feeling that toning was necessary. But I am conflicted: I still like the blue image but am pleased with the traditional BW.
