PESO:

I am always torn between the two.  To me, color is such a part of the
people of Guatemala that it is almost a sacrilege to eliminate their color.
 Not so at all in Honduras or some other countries I've been to.  I took 10
times as many color photos in Guatemala as in Honduras.  In this case,
somebody on the MUG suggested this photo is more of a character study in
B&W.  I aree that it's more of a character study, but which is more true
documentation?  Is it ok to remove their color when it is so important to
them?  I really don't know.
