Walking on the opposite side of the road I was caught by the lines of this bus stop, the buildings behind and the line of bollards in front. Still trying to get my head around why the array of lines captured my attention so much.
Here is the image in its original ratio:
And for a bit of a bonus, here is the same image in black and white:

I think it is better in b&w too .. I wonder if your eye wasn’t caught by the building behind?

I really like them both but prefer the color. I feel there is more contrast in the color image.

Absolutely, it helps to challenge our own thinking, which is no bad thing. Ultimately the choice has to be down to the photographer / artist. Gosh, did I just call myself an artist? 😳

I agree with what you said…it’s good to hear all sides but you’re right….the choice is the artist’s. And yes! You did! And you are! 🙂

I prefer the original, uncropped version, wth the vertical rectangles at the back as a counterpoint to the landscape one in the front. And, for similar reasons, I like the reddish colour in what is otherwise already quitea monchrome image.

Thanks for taking the time Anne and interesting to see different perspectives on the same image. Personally I am with you on the red brick. Cheers 😘

Much better in B&W. The red brick behind distracts the eye in the colour image. Good photo 🙂

My initial response was to look for a person or a soul, my eye kept on going all over the frame in search for something. There are lots of great composing elements (such as frames within the frames, overlapping windows), subtle colour palette that works for the mood of the photo.
But something is missing ..my eyes keeps looking for that missing piece !))
With the B&W version i would prefer to see a stronger contrast and in doing so dramatise the apparent quiet capture..just my humble opinion

Part of what struck me was how quiet and lifeless everything was. The sprite can was what I kept ending up going back to, but I understand what you mean.
