Been out this evening taking few photos of Oxford Skyline, am undecided which works better the colour version or black and white, what are your opinions?

better without the guy. if it's a skyline take the skyline not some bloke on a park bench

colour looks better but you shoudl maybe work on it a bit more.

Try the black and white by separating the RGB channels and just use one, normally red. The trees won't be so grey then.

I don't know if I wouldn't have tried to do something with the two trees in the middle of the grass as well, like centre them in the middle of the foreground of the pic.

you could have made a picture using the guy as the subject looking out across the skyline. a reposition would have solved it.

like Ian says use channel mixer to make it B&W

I havent had a chance to work on it yet but it was the green channel i think i used for the main part and then used red channel for the sky because green lost all the clouds
