George,

Tricky call. It does have elements that will translate well into B&W, but that will lose that beautiful multi-colored patina. I suspect you'll end up keeping a version of each. I'd love to see them together.

Done a quick one in Topaz b&w

Nice shot with the lines converging in the frame. IMO, the b&w image looks just as good as the color one. It has its own moody feel.

Nice one George,

I particularly like the angle you shot from - not sure I'd have thought of that.

Nice and welcoming, isn't it?
(almost makes you wonder what they're worshipping inside)

For me, George, there is just sufficient 'shine' on the knocker to make that B&W work well. And it tends to concentrate more on the texture than the coloured version.
