    steal beam

    B&W or color? What do you think?

    Though I'm a huge fan of mixing black and white with color, you'll have to do some serious blurring of the edges of that beam. The color against the black and white seems to "harsh". You did a good job with the black and white one to fix the overexposed area in the top right. An interesting shot, but a few improvements are needed IMO.

    Nice shot,

    Jared

    A little too dark, and the contrast is way too low. I think that spot color in B&W is mostly successful when the overall image is lighter. This is not a 'hard' rule of course, just a rule of thumb.

    PS - Might want to consider what spot color to use also. Pink on a steel beam? I don't get it, but that isn't the first time ....
