Color or black and white?

I vote B&W

Boy, Tony, this one's a toughie for me....as much as it goes against the grain of my usual preference, I'll vote B/W on this one. If I were going to give the lady a print, however, I'd give her the color version....it's a little more easy on the eye, not so harsh.

Ahhh....the look on her face doesn't say to me, "send an 8x10 glossy" - more-so an unwilling subject (regardless whether she is or isn't).
I vote color as it is more "real".

It was a grab shot, and the lady didn't seem pleased but didn't
object.

Thanks, all, for looking.

The bw has more depth and character.

I really like the colour, I think is shows her neck, clothing better.

I vote color, that seems to draw your eye to her eye better. In the b&w all I see is age, in the color I see the youth behind the age.

The different reaction to the image in black and white and in color are interesting.
How it is presented seems to change what it is.
