Some images just seem to work better in Black and White. Low light conditions presented me with focus problems that no amount of sharpening would fully correct. Black and White here is intended to emphasize the lights on the buildings and the beacon in the tower itself.
Hope you like it. Comments always appreciated.

Wonderful capture Bill, black and White works well in this pic Excellent well done..
I agree with you, some images work better in B/W. Excellent use of B/W in this case, you saved the photo :)
Fantastic mood and wonderful photo.
Good! A little soft on the edges but I don't mind that. Gives a good mood in Black and White.
B&W works for me all the time Bill. When I first saw it I thought it was a render although working nights I don't usually know what this time in the morning looks like :)
Love the lighthouse. Your choice for Black and White--- excellent. Once upon a time a mighty Naval Ship, The USS Rusty Bottom, was traveling off the New England Coast...Over the speakers came a booming voice, Naval Vessel, alter your course 30 degrees south to prevent collision. The Captain replied, This is the mightiest War Ship in the world, you alter your course 30 North....... A long silence. then I am a lighthouse, your decision. Cheers and a good morning, Coffee mug lifted in your direction. Skipper62
A Beautiful picture. This B/W one really works for me! Love the way the lights are standing out. Great work, my friend! Rob.
A wonderful shot, Bill. Splendid in B&W. Hugs for a happy day. Di. xx
Perfect b/w!
Fantastic capture & presentation.....
Yes, I like this B/W photo. It does emphasize the lights.
Very good one. 5+.
Superb BW pict. Congrats for your work with lights. 5++++
Gorgeous
Very nicely composed black and white image. Excellent.
I liked your earlier colour shot of this, but this is something special, really works for me.Thanks Bill.
black an white works very well... cause the lights come out better... very well done!
Beautiful capture. Lighthouses usually work very well with either B&W or sepia. Awesome find.
I don't know why it is but whenever I think of New York, a state I have never been in, I always think of high buildings and congestion....it's so very nice to see that it's not all city and has some beautiful scenery like this...a fantastic capture.
To KISS (keep it simple silly) works best...in this case you are correct. You were able to emphasize the subject of your desire..
This is great, an inspiration. I'll have to agree with everyone else B/W is very effective especially for this beautiful scene.
