366 Days of 2012, Day 165 - Blyth Street Art

For a subject of amazing colour and form I have chosen to leave colour completely out.

This is my first truly monochrome image in this series. I generally resist the temptation to use monochrome as tool to create a surrealness where an image could not stand on its own. In this HDR image however the colour seemed so at odds with the dark and grungy feel of this street that I almost felt it detracted so for me the decision to drop it was easy. So please let me know what you think of this Blyth Street Art in HDR monochrome.
