Strange use of B&W where colors are a must!

why are colors a must?

I am really shocked, that this one looks exactly the way the one here In Vienna does. Are there no unique things anymore?? But no, not shocked about the picture and I like it without colors - most interesting way to look at this.

It's the one in the Prater, Vienna ;-)

Ups, hab erst jetzt gesehen, wo Du herkommst. Bitte nicht das Riesenrad posten. Grins. Möchte ich noch machen ...

Keine Sorge, das hab ich schon im Topic "Red" getan ;-)

Asking you both please to will write in German privately, I really like your photo and, sorry Coutinho, I don't see why colour has to be a "must". I personally love well done B&W like this and the first featured photo.

thanks for your comment marco!

I love this in b&w ... very very nice .. this is really special I think ...:) love it!!

I believe the Black and White gives it a nostalgic look. Great job.

Very nice shot.
I do like the Black and white. It really seems fitting for this subject.
I do like the inclusion of the person as it adds a bit of perspective to how big the rides actually are.

The black and white is great for this photo. I think if this had been done in color, it would have been too busy. Especially with having that person there.

it doesnt need color. color version seen so many times. minor: they guy with the cam disturbs me a bit.
