Probably the single most recognizable image of Lexington: the Washington and Lee Colonnade.I couldn't go on with this blog much longer without showing the Colonnade, but I was reluctant to try it because it's something of a photographic cliché around here. I was lucky enough to back into these tree shadows -- one of the great advantages of taking winter pictures. I think they add something a little different.
Expected a black and white version (below) to play up the shadows even more, but I don't think it does. They seem more fantastic in green and black. What do you think?

Both photos are sharp. I am partial to the color contrasts though.
I prefer it in color, because i like the combination of the tree colors here: blu, red and green. And the contrast in the foreground seems to me more strong.
Great composition!
Help! I can't decide between two great pictures!
:))
I really like the way you play with the shadows! I also prefer the coloured photo. It's brilliant!
its nice to see both versions! they are really very sharp:)
The colonnade is not know to those of use around the world so it is very nice to see. I am quite partial to the color as it shows the buildings in detail as well as the dramatic shadows.
This is really creative on both shots.
Superb photos. I love your b&w version especially. The building is a great b&w candidate. The tree's shaddow in the foreground really makes this image for me.
