The water looks deeper in the b&w picture. I like it very much.

Great reflections and the photo has both foreground and background interest with a terrific sky too. Huge depth of field !!

B&W gives it a different feel, like midday light haze and glaze? Like it.

Recognized this immediately. Like them both, but I think you are correct - the BW just edges it.

Great reflections in the water, all the way to the contr4ails in the sky. The B & W seems to give an almost silhouette effect to the skyline.

The stillness of the water creates a heavy feeling of hot days and lonely spots in the city, nice one

I like the little dots going across and the bars going up, sort of like musical notes. Nice bw shot.

I love the different layers here, from the foreground to the background, rich with so many mirroring details, and your B&W is for sure beautiful !

Have you seen Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist? I thought it made the city look very appealing.
