I’m going to go a little different here today. I’m going to show the color and the black and white. I think this photo does much better in black and white. It’s very busy and of course the lights are just glaring but I like all the reflections in this photo. It is take in front, or the back, depending how you want present it of the Ala Wai Canal. I hope you enjoy.

Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou
I like how different things show up in each of the pictures.
Thanks…Me too
Beautiful reflections.
Mahalo…glad you enjoyed this
They are both excellent Thom. I think the lights are the real stars of the picture.
Thanks. They are so out there. I didn’t want them as much but oh well.
I love the lights; reminds me of John Travolta, Saturday Night Fever for some reason.
OMG you are so right. It does
Glad you enjoyed 
I’m with James on this one – the lights steal the show! You have caught them brillantly -(pun intended)!!!
And definitely the B&W is super!
I love the pun and you both are so right
I really like the B&W myself 
Monovhrome without doubt – and excellent.
I so agree with you
Thanks!!!
I prefer the B&W version! it makes me think of the arrival of some alien vessel!!
Very good point my friend. I so agree with you. Thanks for stopping by
That was cool. I always like black and white.
Detour
I’m getting so I like B&W better as well
The photo in black and white has a whole different feeling, or mood than the color. I tend to prefer black and white, I just think it is more artsy.
I thought I would be the only one that liked the B&W and it’s by far my favorite. I so agree with you
I like them both. Great shots
Thanks!!! I’m partial to the B&W myself
both versions are interesting but B&W adds that little something.
well done, my friend
Thanks!!! And can you believe they were taken with my iPhone? LOL
The Ali Wai Canal! Just, for half-a-second, I was almost homesick for Hawaii. The canal is a bit of beauty downtown in all those buildings.
That’s Waikiki Q. LOL. How soon we forget. But I’m glad you liked.
Ummmmm… I think I like it in color best. The black & white one ALL.I.SEE. is the glare of the lights. In the color one I do actually see the canal! It’s an interesting photo though…
Well I’m partial to the B&W myself. It’s a very busy photo all the way around.
thanks!
Tough lighting Thom. I’m not sure which one I like best. I think the B&W version could use a bit more contrast, but you run the risk of losing shadow details. One of the strong points of B&W film is it’s long tonal range. With digital you have to be careful you don’t blow out the highlights. With film you expose for the shadows. You’re coming along nicely. Fun isn’t it!
Thank you my friend. I played around with this for a while and I at one time had hardly no shadows at all. It is fun
Thank you 
Thom I do like both as well but the mono is my first choice! Once you start you just can’t stop!!!
xoxoxoxox
You are so right about that I tell ya
xoxoxox
Interesting reflection. Happy weekend!!
Thanks!
Nice one Thom.
Happy weekend.
Mahalo. You too
The lights are looking like stars! IK prefer the first one.
Yes the do now that I think about it.
Great shots, I love the lights too, they do look like stars.
I didn’t think that until Ebie said it. I’m glad you enjoyed
usually prefer b/w but this time I like the color better actually. The photo made me think of a stadium for some reason. Both nice photos!
Yup a stadium is a good analogy my friend. I like the B&W. I’m glad you enjoyed
The black and white photo is cool…but as usual I like the color one better!!
Thanks I’m glad you like. My fav is the b&w I must say
