Colour v Monochrome

It is a strange fact that we often use our wonderful colour capable cameras to produce monochrome images. Street photography is most commonly a monochrome subject, which I agree with, as the essence of the photograph is often more apparent with this, with distracting colour removed. People shots often look more powerful in mono, and often classic architecture is shown in a monochrome form, the absence of colour can make for a more artistic portrayal of the shape and form of buildings.

Working on that basis, I have edited a few shots, with both colour and mono featured to see how they look.
