Hi Bob,

Question.... "Why?"  Both are interesting, however the B&W shows far more 
detail than the colour as it detracts from the content of the photograph.

Much better separation of subjects, area and lighting in B&W.

The human figure is much stronger in B&W with a cleaner separation.

Anyway that's sort of how I see it and opt for the B&W without question.

And you good Sir? Why did you offer "colour" very emphatically? :-)

cheers,
ted
