This is a parking deck in Chicago. Which of the three treatments looks best to you, and why?
Thanks!
Color: 
Red channel only: 
Blue channel only:

| Very nice shot. I like the color shot because it has the contrast of light and dark but also the contrast of the beige structure against the silver cars. |

| Blue channel only seems to have more depth and is more interesting IMHO |

I prefer the color. The picture has nice symmetry to it, but it doesn't scream wow! to me. The color adds something to it and I am genuinely interested in the photo with color while the other two I might just pass over in their current state.
The blue is probably my least favoriate as the entire picture looks a little dark in relation to the other two.
I would have voted the color one pretty well in a leading lines challenge. Nice shot.
Once again, just my opinion, per your request.

I like the red channel only - nicer shapes

I think I like the color version best. The red patches on the left and right side draw the composition together.
HOWEVER, the red channel is interesting because now the poking-out cars are more subtle and seem to get lost in the curvy pattern. So it's a close call for me between the two.
The blue channel has a nice dark mood to it but the loss of detail makes for a less interesting composition. |

prefer color, but red channel is nice too, maybe a bit noisy for this style of shot. Seems like it should be more smooth.
clone out the car at the bottom, it draws too much attention to the edge at the very end of one of your lines.

4 for Color (57%)
2 for Blue (29%)
1 for Red (14%)
Thus far (if I counted that right).
Not sure if we are helping at all, but then again, you did ask for each's opinion (lol). Now you know how DPC voting can seem so screwy. :)
Edit, had total wrong.

Of the two B/W I far prefer the red channel conversion. I'm split between color and B/W though. But you haven't really GONE anywhere with the B/W, just converted it. It has more potential. Just to stimulate your juices, here's an extreme variation. Fascinating how the spackle work on the ceiling is popping out :-)

Thanks, everyone! I always find it interesting how different people prefer different versions. For me, the red channel version is the best.
Maybe that's why my scores aren't so high. ;)
On another site where I post, the color and red are scoring close to each other, with blue quite a bit below.
