For the most part I agree, but then there's this set, made at night: http://www.urbansnitch.com/gates/
In a couple of them I can't see where color would have made much difference, and dealing with the color of the lighting would have been an issue.
I must say I still haven't seen a picture with the Gates in it that blew me away. A couple in the above referenced set get close.
Cheers, Rich Mason

The pair of Gates pictures in this week's gallery make a good example of
making a choice between monochrome or color for an image. In this case
I think the subject demands - screams out for - color. It looses too
much in B/W. There are problems with both pictures (and the gates!).
The text in David's picture lets us in on what the dark figures are up
to more than the image itself. In Mark's pic The Gates could have been
a surprising splash of color which I think is their purpose.
