I think they call it a spot color. Down spot down! The monochrome certainly packs some added weight as you'd expect but its an unfair comparison with the color looking not quite right. It almost looks hand colored and like a very early color National Geographic which I think was hand colored. But I think even if the color was able to be fixed perfectly the black and white on a shot like this is vastly preferred.
