For this reason as well is why I had not opted for B&W, because the green of the grass and the red of the bricks.

But here's the suggested B&W, thoughts? Which one is better? (any other advice is most appreciated)
I like the B&W version better myself, it grabs me more than the color version did. I still cant get past the trees (just me being anal) but the contrast between the solid black (or almost solid black) inside of the walls and the bricks that are in the sunlight is fantastic. The B&W really makes that pop.

I was in the middle of a delivery at Mansion Grove Apartments last week when I took the photo of the round brick mill. I only had a few minutes to snap and go. I think I took better photo's than the one I posted but it was the only one that showed the whole building. Right next to the round mill is Lick's old Mansion. Now all surrounded by apartments.



















And especially, thanks for the 007 votes. That's all I ever need.

On the right side of the picture there's a pot with white flowers in it, right above that sits a white labradoodle smiling at the camera.

She was barking at me right before that, but then she was just watching me take the picture.

Some like the B&W, some like the color.
