Subject: [Leica] Color(u)r or B&W?

Hi Nathan,

While I am veering much more toward B&W 
in my own photography these days,   I much 
prefer the color version of your photo, and 
with the original crop with the mannequin  in 
the background, at least on the screen.
I might crop a bit on the right though.
But no question that I prefer the color version.
I may feel differently about prints on paper.

Cheers,

- Phong
