Fountains at Columbus Circle, New York City, a couple days ago.
Color or B & W?
Nikon D90, 1976 20mm f/4 lens
ISO200, f/22, 10 second shutter speed - camera sitting on edge of fountain, mirror lock-up mode, self-timer.
Love them both but maybe the color one just a bit more but only a bit mind
Color one a tad more because they B&W doesn't have a punch due to a lack of definition.

Color one is a bit lacking in color and the B/W needs more contrast...
I pick the BW

You mean colour or "Monochrome" not b+w
Mono
It's hard to decide, I like both equally and the great thing about is you can keep both. I think the b&w.

thanks - I actually took some of the saturation out of the color one. Still working on it.
Thanks for looking.

You're probably right - mono. I grew up using film cameras, including black and white film - also used quite a few filters ( red, etc) to enhance contrast.
Mostly what folks are doing on the computer is de-saturating their photos to "Black and White". Their are some nice plugs in though.
Love to hear from a purist like yourself! Mono it is - not B & W.

I prefer the mono, b&w, or the photo without the color, whatever folks want to call it. 8-)
I will also vote for the B and W
