Ten cityscape etudes - in color and mono

I pick 5 photos today, almost randomly, to edit in black-and-white mode and to see which variant looks better. As always, I'd be pretty pleased if you chose your favourites and explain why.

A swann's gutter.

5-meter statues of Atlanteans support the balcony of the Small Hermitage building.

Panorama of Neva-River.

All pictures taken by me. I present some oldies today, everything you see is my evening walk with .... across a few central streets of St.Petersburg.

Same photos - in colour.

Атланты стерегут вход в малый Эрмитаж.

Один из пешеходных мостиков, соединяющий Петропавловскую крепость (Заячий остров) с Большой Землей. На заднем виде виден пляж.. и видно что он не пустует!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

что за массовый заплыв?

недавно по ящику как раз видел очередные песчаные фигуры Питера.

Ничего сверх особенного - обычный траффик. Просто Нева большая, а их МНОГО. 😂
Фестиваль фигур - откровенно дурацкий. Заявлена "патриотическая" тематика. Ну и напыжили всякой фигни. Да еще и входной билет 500 рэ. нунафик, за такое платить еще?!
!BEER
