I love this kind of photos / photo motives! Here I prefer the coloured one. In my opinion it shows the contrast between "dead + alive" better. Though the shop seems to be closed there still must be life behind the windows as there are the plants.
Jilly, this reminds me a bit of the corner shop in Beausoleil, the one run by a very old lady who decorated the complete shop and windows with pictures of the Grimaldis... So special! A real fan! And coward me didn't dare to step in and talk to her!!
Maybe you can show it here one day, too!? :-)

I love the feel of the black & white photo. Maybe the owner should change the sign to feature a product other than tobacco and diversify the products sold. It is a good thing if less tobacco is sold.

beautiful in both b&w and color.

Maybe not, but no shame. I'm a non-smoker, and it sure makes a beautiful black and white.
