What artistic feedback would you like if any? Is this an image which effectively makes a point ? And does it work better in colour or b & w ?
Any pertinent technical details: Canon 400D, 18-55 @ 18, 1/250 @ f8, ISO 200
A series of fairly new apartment blocks in central Manchester. Framed by an overhead tramway ( just visible to the R ) and a restored canal and walkway, they oversee a small area planted with garden shrubs. I am always intrigued by architects’ and planners’ attempts to bring nature to the city !

Lovely image Ian from A to Z. Per the title though, rendering in black and white makes it more about the architecture than the small garden. I wonder if color would change that. Not a nit, rather interested curiosity.
Oh yeah! The pink side of the nearest building along with the color in the reflections indeed brings out the nature in this. Both are great, with their fates determined by your usage.
An interesting juxtaposition of the shrubbery with the massive squareness of the architecture, Ian. The dark plant on the left border doesn’t seem to fit well for my taste, but I’m not sure if you could crop and still retain the edge of the farthest building.
