I agree that they are both nice photos. I think that the black an white is more pleasing. When I look at these in ten minutes, however, I might change my mind. Either way, these are nice photos.

Without looking at other responses, I choose the color version. Maybe if the B&W had more contrast I'd like it, but I prefer the colors in the other one.

In our modern, color age, we use color to record reality and B/W to make a statement. Both are well exposed photos of your subject. I view the color version as a reflection of the variety of stimulants active at night in that city, and the B/W to say that we are not impounded or suppressed by the darkness of night

In a comparison, I prefer the b&w, but mainly because that big purple rectangle in the color is strange and distracting :) I'd also like to see the b&w pop with a bit more contrast or other editing.

both really nice, another case of whats better is more about "the beholder" or the beer holder which ever is right?

Color for me. The purple is a real eye-catcher.... and just happens to be "on the thirds."

Spot on. Color and B&W deliver different messages and the question is 'how well.' Technical points form part but not whole answer.

Especially the sky - it's not dark OR star-speckled - I suspect light pollution against an overcast.

I like both. Funny thing how we all have something to say about the color photo. We're all different and there is no right or wrong. I love city scapes, so I started at the tops of the buildings, then came down. The purple lighted area is just the cherry on top, it gives life to the photo. But I like weird stuff anyways.
