I kept processing this shot and could not decide on the best way to present it. Finally I settled on this b&w version. I think it gives these waterslides a different feeling than seeing them in color.

I think that black and white is a great choice. It gives them a whole different feel…nice!
I like the diagonal pattern you have given here. Also I think the BW gives it a bluish tones too, just from my eyes that is. Nicely done andy!
Either way, it sure makes me want to go for a slide, Andy, especially during these Hotlanta days!
Very nice, Andy. Exceptional way to display the details.
it does have a classic feel to it.. nice work, andy!
Those are some impressive water slide tubes. I like this in black and white.
love this slight blue tint to the bw
first i thought that i see some industrial landscape, then i realized the slides, great shot
Very nicely composed. It shows the industrial side of waterslides.
I like your choice to propose it in monochrome, great shot.
Wonderful composition. Love how the curves and circles are framed by the straight line.
I think the B&W version fits the graphic nature of the slide. I like the curves and pattern it creates against the sky.
Nice shot.
Weeeeeeeeeee!!!! Oh great processing and composition. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Ha
At first glance this made me think of some 50’s image with UFO’s on it
i’d really like to get on one of those ! a cool tangle of slides!
amazing toning .. well done
amazing tones!!! great shot
Almost looks like pinball game, which makes it very funny to imagine ‘us’ as those balls.
Nicely done, love the black and white conversion here
Excellent choice, Andy. It gives it a totally different, almost industrial, feel.
Una fotografia muy original, esos tubos entrelazados quedan muy bien.
Saludos.
Andy, great choice in processing. I agree with some posters that there is an industrial pipe mood to the image too. The horizon line is making me a little seasick, but that’s ok.
Love the black and white processing…really gives it a different look and feel. Great title as well!
Really good in bw … looks very futuristic.
I like the composition and the different curves everywhere.
A little Alfred Hitchcock going on here…………..
Interesting processing, were the slides yellow first?
Have a nice day

The one at the top of the frame was green and the other one was light blue.
Superb shot. Looks very futuristic.
