For me, because of the subject matter B&W (or a tone) no question about it.

I do like the colour one; sometimes I wish we didnt have these choices as it can be so tough to choose.

My dad once told me (and I believe him) that colour photography is about colour and black and white is about everything else.
Then again back then he probably didnt have a choice.

I think the point he was making is that the viewers have to use their imagination more with a black and white image; this gives a wide variation of interpretation.

The Truth is Out There
