Seldom I’m in two minds picking my own choice. But these 2 photos had me thinking which one is better, color or b/w. Personally I felt each has its own worth. But which one would you pick if one choice is needed. Hope my pics worth a glance.

Appreciate your input

    I'm usually a BW guy, but in this case I prefer color on both shots.

    Really great work! I wish you had not put in the big red letter in the pictures......I think we could have followed numbering......hard to choose between colors and b&w.....

    Personally, I like A of the first set - the uniform red shirts add to the story of the picture.

    And I love D. BW works so well with this one and the larger crop is more pleasing.

    I find color an integral part of these scenes.

    I prefer B in the first set because I find the sun's reflection too distracting. I have a hard time seeing anything else. If you went with the color in teh first set, I would try to tone down the sun reflection to not overwhelm the orange of the people.
    I prefer D in the second: the colors and crop.

    I don't think any of these are improved by b&w.

    The color helps to focus on the subject which is not clear in the b&w.
