wierd that nobody commented on this....
b&w would be better because
1. colors are flat
2. that red & green hdb is distracting like a neon sign in a monotone world
3. b&w allows for brighter, higher contrast photos since there are no colors
4. would make it eye-catching & classy IMO...
not sure if cropping is ideal, but its becasue of the red/green hdb building sticking out like a sore thumb.
But I like the photo, it's just that there's so much more to it =)
