Go Toward The Light

I wanted to try this one in black and white. Is the contrast too much or not enough? Comments welcome.

I think the contrast is strong as needed here. The b&w works well also. My only criticism here is that there are too many people involved. Less people would make a more impactful scene. Still, I think it looks good.

Thanks Gary, I was wondering about the number of people. Maybe I'll do some cloning out.

Hi John,
I agree with Gary about the number of people. I think B&W is a good choice.

B&W works well.I see the contrast as just right. About the reduction of people...all I know is keep the #16 guy.He adds interest.
I like this shot.

John,

Lovely in B&W and the contrast is spot on.

Shame about the person walking towards you and as others have said too busy.

All you want is the dad with child and the two at the top of the steps walking away. Everything else you could loose.

I think if you just removed the man and child on the right. The ladies dress and B&W give the image a 50's look.

Thanks everyone.....I might mess around later and repost a different version.
