I did see the original colour version - I must have gotten distracted and never commented, or perhaps I did, and it never made the list - who knows? I recall three different views of this old bridge, but this one was my favourite colour one. I think the conversion to black and white benefits it greatly. Gives it sort of a "vintage" look, I think. Plus, I think colour rather distracted from the pure form of those massive mechanics. Very well done, sir! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
