Should this bombed out bunker be B&W or color?

Taken back before I got my Canon, on an Olympus 720 point&shoot. That suspended concrete chunk is roughly the size of my torso.

I like the contrasty B&W, but I wish the sky had more contrast. Color version has a decent sky, but some lighting weirdness down in the rebar from bumping levels a bit in the shadows.

Comments/suggestions?

I think you need more of a lesson on making up your mind than in photography. These "Which one's better?" threads are goofy.

The color one is a bore. In the black and white you're able to focus on the lines and shadows more and makes it pop more.

I think I also like the black and white. The colors in the picture don't really have any significance to the actual point. The concrete's color is pointless and the blue of the sky is both distracting and already assumed anyways. The lines matter.

This guy nailed it.

Gotta agree with the rest. Black and white.

Cheers. That's pretty much how I felt, till a friend of mine looked at the color version and preferred it and got me thinking about it. I'll put a smallish gallery up soon.
