My preference here is the colour version. The cobbled street is so in keeping with the houses. Not many remain. Super composition Tom.
Not noticed the variation in exposure that you mention, but there is always a difference between my laptop and tablet in how the image looks

The black and white conversion to me on this instance did not work because the only real black area is the area under the parked car. The picture looks like being shot with an Agfa APX b&w film I used to shoot with. It is the subject itself which is not as "suitable" for black and white. Not a lot shadows if there is no sunshine and the sun is not angled enough or behind lots of cloud.
I would rather go for colour and that is why I voted for it.
I have an alternative colouring and framing suggestion. Try it in sepia with a square format. Start your image from the left, keep the road but exclude the parked cars. Then from the right side crop to exclude the traffic sign. I think you would not need to crop in top or bottom. That would echo louder the notion of "old" you wanted to succeed.

Quote:Does anyone else find their pics look about a third of a stop down when they upload? Just noticed it over the past 3/4 months.
I have often noticed this, so I now download and view it on-line and if it looks too dark alter the brightness before the final download. You can keep changing your image until satisfied then posting.
It is a great place to visit but you need to get your WB spot-on with all the whitewashed buildings. They should also make it car free, as they often spoil your final result. I think the colour version shows the beauty of the location very well.

I found I needed to do the same as you, Ian, as some as some shots looked a full stop down, but it is a fairly recent thing for me having to check how my shots look b4 finalising them. I much prefer the colour too, but thought it was also suit mono, which a lot of people like to see.

I bet there are a lot of people who would like to see Pippa's rear
but a photographer (unless commissioned otherwise) should shoot what he/she likes rather than what others like to see...
