B&W or colour?

B/W ....the color one is so subtle that it is monochromatic any way..........bowthumbclap

I think the quality of the light comes across better in color.

And I'd argue just the opposite. I find the color distracts from the light and more interesting elements of the shot. :ivar

But the b&w could be better... looks to flat on my monitor, but its not calibrated so I may be wrong.

B&W. I can see what Richard means about the light (particularly the golden highlight on the left side of the hair of the girl in the middle), but color also adds a lot of distractions, such as the way the strong reds (24, bicycle, car taillights) seem to want to suggest a relationship that isn't really helpful. You might be able to get the best of both worlds by adding a sepia tint to the B&W version.

Hey Wil,

I like the shot. The color version, for me, is much more preferable....it brings a vibrancy to the scene that the B&W version lacks. As Richard noted, that aspect is particularly acute when considering the girl's presence.
