Default Live at the Palace!

Howdy folks, I haven't posted any new pics for a while, so I thought I'd share these with you. I took them about four hours ago, and have been tweaking them a little. They're images of the old movie theater of my home town that is now being used as the center of the downtown restoration organization. I am planning to enter one of them into our county fair. Help me decide which one I should use.

Palace
This one is straight from the camera, straightened and cropped only.

Theater
An attempt at HDR.

Red Palace
Getting a little artsy with it.

Thanks for looking!

and the second one is too bright

The first one would be my choice, good colouring. I like the last one, its a bit rocky horror show looking. cool. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely the first one, the colours are just gorgeous. It has an old school feel to it also.

Thank you all! I like the colors of the first one myself, though I'd thought about trying to colorize the black and white with the neon tubing to make it a bit different. I'll tweak around on it later today.

I am always the odd ball cause I totally fell in love with the black and white. It brings that nostalgic feel back to a very grand building.

Thank you both! I really like the black and white too. My original idea was to go B&W, and colorize the marquee, and here it is:
