I like the composition of how the dial wraps from corner to corner.

Are the flowers too distracting in color? This looks like the metal would have some nice weathered colors to it. Either way, the composition works.

A very strong black and white photo, very nice!

I like it! This scene is perfect for black and white. While I bet that the patina on that sundial is beautiful, I think the image would lose some of its impact in color.

Thank you all for looking and commenting

Yes the flowers were a bit distrating and I liked the curved lines. The actual sundial is spherical and I took this with a wide angle lens with my camera inside the sphere.

this is the original

Both are nice but I think I prefer the B&W one.

Great image. Definitely like the b&w version better. The focus is more strongly directed to the engraving on the sundial. Also really like how you cropped the shot.

Thanks Asnow & Doug.

Exactly as Doug commented. Love it.

Yup, the black and white is stronger. I kinda expected that.

Thanks for that HBG, and thank you a 2nd time Q1
