I'm a sucker for B&W so I like that best. Although the dark areas have more detail in the color version. Good shooting. Don

The B&W conveys a message that the color does not. For archival purposes the color has more data.

I like the color for the feel it gives. The B&W has a more ominous, old school Alfred Hitchcock look. I was expecting a storm. Both are good images, it comes back to what you are trying to say with them.

John, you are among the majority with your "color" vote, if that is indeed which one you are voting for. Thanks.

Thanks a lot Gendarme for your thoughts on this image. I LOVE your analogy of "Alfred Hitchcok look"! Now that you mention it, you really have hit the nail on the head!

AND I thank you zuzanne for taking the time to give me your thoughts. I'm kind of torn myself on which I like better.

Brent, I like to "Look Quick" when someone asks me this. I find that by doing this, I am correct (for me) most of the time even after a long look. So....I picked the B&W! Nice comp.! Like it lots. Thanks, Boone.

Color, but not by much- Mostly because of the windows.
Too bad about that thing in the lower left.

Boone.......good technique.......taking the quick look then going with your first impression. It's usually right isn't it? I'm with you ....going for the B&W but not by much. Thanks for your comment of "nice comp"!
