Lluis mon ami,

No question the B&W is a powerful photograph that I like much better to the 
more gentle colour photograph.

However, another part in the excellence of this photo is..... "It looks just 
fine in both!!" :-)
It's an eye catching photo regardlesss of which format, colour or B&W!  Not 
too often that happens, but in this case it works very well and makes it a 
most interesting picture.

Art directors love this type of photograph because they have double use 
because then it can be used in a colour or B&W advertisment. :-) However 
they don't pay you anymore! ;-)

cheers,
ted
