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-)
