The B&W is better, if you do not like the hue. It does brings an appropriate eery glow to the image.

Great shot, Oz. Love the contrasting body language of the woman and preacher as well as the light along her arm.

I generally love black & white as a medium, but I think I am leaning toward the color on this one. That said, I am conflicted a bit on the hue. Her arm has taken on the maroon tones of the chairs. Perhaps that is a conscious processing choice. If not, I might experiment with warming the colors up a tad. Then again, what do I know?

I think this works best here in color, as the various elements stand out that bit better.

I just tried it in black and white-- Im not sure which I prefer..



I'm 50/50 on each also. I do like the POF and the lady's body language. Nice catch.
