Well, what something is "worth" is a very subjective thing. But a Hasselblad signed by The Doctor Himself? WICKED cool!!!

I'm inclined to differ, with all respect. The monochrome version holds together better, structurally, and the color version doesn't give me any new information other than that the building is red and the signs yellow. In another context, that information might be of value, but I don't think it is in this image. I would give my vote to the monochrome version.I reworked the fireworks shot a bit, plus I had a look at the colour version. I'm now thinking that the colour version is better.

Maybe the reason I'm attracted to the colour version is because I remember this image I took earlier in the year. They possibly work well together.I'm inclined to differ, with all respect.

The red color works here, giving it an added strangeness that complements the weird signage. You're right, they would make an interesting pair.Maybe the reason I'm attracted to the colour version is because I remember this image I took earlier in the year. They possibly work well together.

I looked at the colour shot again and thought it was a bit yellow. This is more blue in the lower third, and if I were to pair it with the other colour image (Drive Thru), the reds would be a bit closer match.The red color works here, giving it an added strangeness that complements the weird signage.

Y9 is the date code for 1973, the three crowns is the National Control Mark for Sweden, if that's an 'S' in the hexagon next to Y9 then that's either the town mark for Stockholm or it's the 'Standard' mark for Swedish silver (.800). Can't make out the maker's mark on the left (KGRC?).I like the hallmarks under the "0375". Wonder what they mean?
