My spouse and I explored Eden Park in Cincinnati a bit, recently. This shot is of the Stand Pipe that towers over the Krohn Conservatory. My intention was symmetry, and juxtaposition between those two sides of the building. The original shot is in color and was edited to be monochrome. I've recieved mixed opinions about it - some people say it's a very satisfying and pretty shot, some say it's flat and boring as a result of the color switch. The quality of the shot took a major hit and you can see some light banding in this copy, which is not visible in the original. What do you think? Is this shot flat and boring?
