In this case I like the color better. It provides some separation in a very busy photo. (just my opinion.)

Yes, color does help with the separation here.

I like the color much better. I find all these street images in black and white to be depressing.

Hmmmm for the title I have to choose the black and white, it really sets the mood and isolates the specific activity. However, the colors are awesome. The color version needs a title with rainbow or kaleidoscope :-)

I like color. But in this photo I think it is to busy. I think the b and w better separates the woman from the background. Just my opinion.

With the black and white, the focus of the photo is the title: "Checking for Messages.
With the color version, the focus of the photo becomes the colors, but the colors do not convey the message, hence my choice of black and white.

They are both excellent, that's why you can't decide. Neither could I. Well done!

The woman is too much in the center for me in both images. I would crop so that the phone is the focused target in center.
Also, I find the B&W to be the stronger image in that the colors compete with each other in the second version.
It is a very interesting shot either way.

Same - same.

Thank you all for responding. It's interesting how evenly balanced the opinions are. Generally, when I like the color shot, I like the B&W even better. So this was a relatively rare case for me. But you all have good arguments for each one.

When I scroll the photo up (color ver) and eliminate the white canopy, it really pops for me.

I like both also. However because of the vivid colors, I have to say color.
