    Very cool!
    You have made a neat image of a wonderful piece of art-in its own right.
    Did you experiment with some monochrome renditions?

    I remember seeing the barbed wire and glass embedded into walls around the houses, but this one is new to me.

    I agree with Mark; it's a very interesting shot and it would be interesting to see a monochrome version. A bit of flash to bring out the texture in the walls would have been an interesting approach as well. The framing works, but is a touch heavy for my taste.

    I actually don't think a monochrome version would improve the image. The muted colors in the deep black frame and details of the implements makes a great contrast.

    Monochrome would be worth a try but I fear that excellent blue sky wouldn't transfer successfully.

    Andre,

    I'm for the colour version as it compliments the silhouetted forks far better. Those are far more interesting burglar bars than we have here

    Thank you Grahame.
    Some images work better in colour and others in monochrome.

    You really got burglar bars over there? Why?

    I too vote for color, even though the black and white is working well
