I've been playing around with converting it to B&W and to me it
actually doesn't work. I'm liking the color version better. The
paint color is so much of the composition. Maybe it's because
my vision is tainted. I'll give it a year or so and revisit it.

I thought about that later. This was one of those times where
you can't have enough wide-angle.

LOL. I'm still trying to figure out why I took that photograph.

Usually I don't unless the distraction is obviously out of
place. I made the decision to leave it. It would be like trying
to remove the saxaphone player from the subway--it would remove
a distraction but you would KNOW something is missing.

A square crop on 13 might be in order.

Very good comments. Thank you.
