Colour or B&W

[zmikers]

What do you think about this shot? Do you prefer the colour version or the B&W one. Thanks for the imput!

Definitely B&W.

B&W, but I'd like to see a little more contrast between the darks and highlights. Those branches, and the frame of the lantern, should be blacker, and I don't think it would hurt to see some more light in the fog to the left.

You probably already had such things in mind, but I had to go and say them, too.:D

I like both. But definetely bring those blacks down.

Color for me. The B&W one is very monotone. The lamp post fades into the background and becomes lost instead of adding interest to the photo.

Thanks for the replies. To be honest, I have done very little PP with either of these, but I will when I decide which one to work with. Thank you for the tips. I will work on them more and post some results, hopefuly sooner than later. Again, thanks for the suggestions, most appreciated as always!
