#7 -    Because images 2-6 are, to me, primarily about line and shape, they might be striking in black and white.

Harald, Roger & Michel thank you for your kind response. As you suggested
I developed some of the pictures in b/w: To the b/w versions

For me the b/w-versions of #2, #3, #6 & #9 working best, what´s your opinion?

Thanks for looking and commenting!

P.S.: Had to have a look @ wikipedia who are the Bechers? After reading I remembered to have heard/ read of them Kraftzentrale Duisburg

Robbie, thanks for presenting the b/w conversions. Now that I see them, I prefer 2-4 in color; the greens in #3 and #4 and the blue in #2 provide necessary color contrast, whereas in the b/w versions contrast is lacking. For #5, I prefer the b/w (so little color anyway) and for #6 because there is such strong presence of line and shape I prefer the b/w as well.

Nice set. My favourites are nr 2 because of the strong lines and the contrast of the red against the blue colour, nr 6 black bricks with red lining and the green that softens the image a bit.

Nice series Robbie. I like these indutrial heritage sites.
For me, the mysterious #6 is teh winner too.

For me #5 and 9 definitely work better in BW. #2 wins in colour for me.
For #6 I have a slight preference for the colour version.
TFS

Next weekend I'll be there.
Any problem when I add my pictures to this thread?
