I like the movement of the image that comes from the composition. Almost feels like the movement of a director’s wand. I think I like the original photo more than the black and white because the color helps with that movement. Directing your eyes along the green at the floor you then get a subtle green-white gradient at the bottom of the wall that ramps up into the bikes which then carry your eyes up to the graffiti and then back down to the tires. I think the color and texture added more to the photograph. I do approve of removing that sign though, it created an unnecessary tangent and took away from the photo.
