For overall image, the top one is better... I'm just not sure of the selective color.

That is fine "Mich". It is not for everyone. The starkness of the bold black iron gates spoke to me about adding some separation to the frame.
Feedback from you and members allows me to make an educated decision on whether to use it or not. Despite my own bias's..
Thanks!

It's all good. Just opinions from friends and enemies
They care enough of give an opinion or share and spark a conversation sometimes.
When no one says either positive or negative, is when it really hurts more.

Keep on snapping...

Yeah as I said despite my bias's for using "Selective Color"...only limited subjects I feel deserve it.
Thanks as always "Mich".

I agree 100% Jim! The subject has to be "right". Although the gates "emblems" were gold in color already, the entire gate was in need of some "freshing".

Yes I can "overdo" it..that is where you and other members get back on track.
Thanks!

Solid compositions here, Dan. You've really been nailing it with razor sharpness and great contrast.

Thanks brother!
These were from years ago when my hands were steady. My adventures into B&W post processing is always a "work in progress" Brent.
Thanks for the encouragement Brent!
