Feeling Groovy B&W or Color?

Feeling Groovy by the 59th Street Bridge B&W or color?

My favorite bridge in NYC is without a doubt the 59th Street Bridge, ever since I heard the Feeling Groovy Song by Simon and Garfunkel I dreamed of visiting NYC and seeing the bridge.

I was 6 when the song came out and probably heard it about that age and remember reading or being told about the 59th Street Bridge and saying to myself i would visit and see it one day.

I never expected at that age or even in my early 20’s that I would ever make it to visit NYC, but its funny how life can give you turns good or bad and you can never know what will happen.

Not only did I visit NYC and have worked here for over 15 Years now, and i am still fascinated by this bridge.

##But now I have a dilemma

When I edited this shot I ended up doing two versions the one above in B&W and the one below in color, and I have to be honest I like them both and cannot choose one over the other so I will have to ...

Twist my arm and I'll go for the B & W this time. Like others have said, it seems quite timeless and classic!

I agree with you That both are nice in their own way, but....Im a sucker for black and white and therefore i choose That one. Beside it is more dramatical in many ways.✨👌🏼

Hey my friend, I much prefer the B&W version - it looks a bit like a doomsday scenery. Great one!

On this one I have to say colour Jay. The B+W makes the bridge look cold, which i know it is! I just think the colour brings a warmth to it.

The black and white photo is timeless but I would have to say that the mood I am in this morning, the colour takes my fancy.

The first one has a tinge of blue to It in my eyes. If it were a stark B&W I would have chosen it. Don't matter I think steemitworldmap likes it.

Yeah, great shots @tattoodjay. To me, the B&W captures of what I always thought NYC represented . Kind of gray and mysterious full of adventure and interesting Lives/Souls

I prefer the color one but if you rework and go more drastic on the monochrome I bet it could look a lot more dramatic ! would also make for a cool night shot too with all the city lights in the background

It is very difficult to choose, I also like them both...it would depend on what atmosphere you want to focus on : the first one is more dramatic...so maybe I would prefer the second one with the color lightness ;-)

I have to say I like the color much better. It looks more alive to me. Beautiful archetecture without a doubt. Glad you fulfilled your dream.

They are both great , but I do like the feel of the first one! Isn't it something when you think back to your childhood? I could never have imagined I would be living in the USA!
