I think it came out very well, considering where you started.? The grain's a bit noticeable but not out of line The composition supports B&W if you were doing a series or an essay in monochrome, though I think you'd have to punch the contrast up.? As a standalone shot, though, I think I agree that the color is preferable.? Color's too important in that part of the world to leave it out... and it makes a timeless shot somewhat less "ancient history."? ? R.
