Hmmmm. I think I like #1 better. Why not one with the flowers and the flower reflection colored?

Just cause when I was doing it... it just didn't seem to work that way for me, so I didn't even save it that way. And I did one of my bad things that I need to quit doing... I saved it as a flattened jpg rather than a tiff or psd with layers.

Tough choice for me. #1 is a standard use of the technique and is beautiful. #2 is just subtle enough that it evokes a different feeling.
#2 by a hair.

It evokes a feeling the first pic does not.

Both are very good, but I really like the second one, it's beautifully subtle and as Lynea said, evocative. It looks more like "art" than the first one which is simply a great spot coloured photograph.

I like #2 best, and even though you didn't really ask for any CC, I'm gonna give it to you anyway ;D
I like the photo alot. Even I, a norwegian, have seen this motif many many times, but you manage to bring some orginality to it, which is something of a feat on a well used motif like this. Good job!
I also like the composition, showing off the people there without actually shooting them, making them a very nice piece of the background and keeping the focus where it should be.
converging lines as the stone and pavement thingy there forms are almost always a good thing, helping to draw the viewer further into the image.
The one negative thing I have to say, is that it is crooked. there are alot of lines in the image, and not a single one is straight. for me it's a bit irritating. I'd probably crop it some just to get the vertical lines straight, like so:

I has a flavor!
CC always welcome.

Very nice! I did something like this shot last year when i was there.. Its very moving being there isn't it?
Heres mine from march 08..
And someone commented that i should try coloing the reflection..hehe
I really should have picked some real flowers to do it with instead of the plastic one.. but there was a TON of people there at the time and i couldn't backup at all without having them all in the shot..
I really like yours from futher back though!

I didn't even notice it was crooked until you said something. I like your crop better.

here's an idea.
What if you were to make the entire wall as if it were normal colour, and then make the rest of the picture black/white. Kinda like representing the contrast of the living/dead concept.

Would be worth a shot to try... cept the wall is grey and white itself.

or everything black and white, but all the reflections in the wall have their colour.
