Thanks Dave!

Btw, I pushed the whites on purpose as I wanted them to be white and not have detail. I was going for a higher contrast B&W similar to what you do. So no faults... it was on purpose. The original image as detail in everywhere, except at the very top where the lights actually are.

In that case; excellent choices !!

I'm going to be the one who differs from the rest, B&W for me.

While I like the the brick colors, it's only the brick colors my eye sees. With the B&W it's more of a clear cut subject and the details in the texture and contrast are perfect for B&W.

The only thing I might change is to lower the exposure from the inside of the windows. I see the bench , nook and outside lighting being the focal point and the window details are stealing some of the thunder.

But this is the beauty of Photography and art, we all can see it different while non of use are wrong.

Another vote for color. Besides the way the lighting hits the bricks, I like the color contrast between the bricks and the inside ceiling.
