There *is* a colour version, but personally I find it a bit too garish. The B&W tends to make you look at the details; the forms, the variety of textures, the reflections from the fruit such as the pomelos, the weave of the baskets etc. Recall what The Great Uncle Dr. Ted used to say B&W exposes the soul? Well it's a bit like that - although I doubt that he would approve of the subject. Sorry Ted! It was actually the first print that I produced on my new Canon Pro-310. The print just worked. It's one I use as a test print to see how well a printer renders detail on a paper. This works well (best?) on Canon's PT101 Platinum.
