Portugal - Lisbon - Rossio Square paving 03_sq_DSC1046
Most might argue that this shot is an obvious candidate for a Black and White conversion. For me however the reflected colours from the buildings on Rossio Square add quite a bit to the shot and transform it from being a very two dimensional image.
Likewise I could've waited another couple of seconds to get the shot completely clear of people. Well, I took that shot also but much prefer this as for me it's a lot more interesting with the inclusion of the legs.
What do you think ?

From Wikipedia : "Rossio Square is the popular name of the Pedro IV Square (Portuguese: Praça de D. Pedro IV) in the city of Lisbon, in Portugal. It is located in the Pombaline Downtown of Lisbon and has been one of its main squares since the Middle Ages. It has been the setting of popular revolts and celebrations, bullfights and executions, and is now a preferred meeting place of Lisbon natives and tourists alike.
The current name of the Rossio pays homage to Pedro IV, King of Portugal. The Column of Pedro IV is in the middle of the square."
