Black and White

Black and white defiantly. The colour one just attracts you to look at the reflection, the B&W is much more balanced and works well for this composure

much better in B&W although not to sure about the strong vignetting. maybe fade the corners some?

Color, but not by much. The BW also appeals to me.

I'd use either as a desktop wallpaper.

Me goin' legit would be like JarJar on speech therapy.

For me, it isn't a matter of preference.. it is that they tell different stories. To me, the colour photo shows you what it is, while the B&W tries to give a feeling of the place. The eyes are definitely drawn more to the top half of the photo in the B&W version than in the colour.

Of course, what you should do is have have a colour top half, and a B&W reflection. :p

I agree with that statement.
It comes down to your preference with which you like more, but they become completely different photos, each great in their own way.

And for once... I am going to say I like the B&W shot more.

The color has a nice mood to it, too. Reminds me of many cold winter explorations. Probably not taken in the winter... see the leaves on the trees... but the saturation (or lack thereof) of the sky and concrete LOOKS cold.

I'd like to see it done. Photoshopping aside, the B&W is better I think.

The b&w one doesn't do anything for me, especially not with the obviously fake vignetting. Just rotate the colour one clockwise by one degree and you'll have a nice looking photo.

The black and white has far more impact and depth. Any photofucktard can see this.
