Description
A more neutral monochrome version of my most popular deviation, Energize Hong Kong [link]In some cases a sequel is never better than the original. Not sure it has the same impact...what do you think?

I really want the print but for now, it will have to just stay as my wallpaper. I love this piece.

I love the monochrome versions of all the cityscapes I see. I have a Chicago version as my desktop. Good job on this one. Any chance of a wallpaper from this? (a440x900)

The black and white version appears sharper but the blue version gives it a more futuristic glow and feel to it.

Thank you. Yes, I agree with you. I might have to do a little work on the blue version.
Thanks for your comments. You're right the blue tone makes it more futuristic.

Well, I really love this, it has a lovely aura to it, and makes the city seem mystical. Great work

Thank you very much. I didn't think it would have as much of an impact as the original. Thanks for your positive comments. I like how you describe it as mystical.

Thanks mate.
It's really reassuring to hear that I have improved with my B&W shots. It's all about getting the right contrast and balance between the shadows and the highlights.
Keep practising. The danger is having the monochrome being 'too grey' and flat and not enough contrast to crate depth.

don't knock yourself. It's all about learning. I remember my first B&W attempts were just a grey scale conversion of the colour one...like for like, which didn't work. They were flat as a pancake. 
Try it Jeff!
