Hebden Bridge Street

[Ryewolf]

In 2000 I looked at buying a house here, at the time it was a very New Age type of place - though it's gone more up market since then being within easy commuting distance of Halifax, Leeds and Manchester. It has kept it's small town appeal and it's main streets are not clones of every other town.

I couldn't decide on the mono or colour versions, so here are both........

It’s a few years since I visited this place ... it looks really quaint still though . I prefer the colour version as it showcases the lovely colours in the cobblestones ...  and the floral displays. I might have been unable to resist ( in fact I’m certain  I would have been unable to resist ) removing the telephone wires though ... it’s always a bit contentious .... removing stuff that isn’t a transient intrusion on an image.      I imagine the same view in winter  would fit well into a sepia or mono version ...

Thanks Clicker, I did wonder about cloning out the telephone wires but decide to leave them in.

The colour one does have more of an appeal to myself Geoff.

Thanks Denis.

I much prefer the colour one. The hanging baskets in particular give it little splashes of colour that work well.

Thanks Kate.

The textures in the stone work in particular are more apparent in the colour so it's the colour version for me as well Rye.

Thanks John.

I like both, but the fence on the left has come out too bright on the mono version, so that swings it in favour of colour for me.

Thanks Gareth, I hadn't noticed that before.
