    Ilove the randomness of this shot. I do think the colors are too saturated. I find the colors distract me. Try a black and white version with lots of grain.

    Hehe, I'm obsessed with the color my D300 can pull out. I know I put too much into this one but only because it's my personal preference.

    I actually agree that it looks better like this:

    Interesting angle and capture. The contrast is too extreme though - can't make out much detail. I would also tone down the contrast (but would not make it B&W).

    I too think there is too much contrast in the color version, the B&W is too contrasty and too dark.

    I think the composition and point of view are very good.
    No, I DON'T need that.
