BW better or natural

[SUB1IM388]

What do you think is better for children natural color or BW?

i think its largely a matter of personal preference.

Now I do believe some photos just lend themselves better to one or the other. When im processing a session - i try to do most photos in both b&w and in color. But occasionally a photo will only really look great one way. And then of course...i think it matters which type of processing you're better at. I know some photographers....they're fantastic with color photos...they know how to make them pop...and while they aren't bad with b&w...they're not great either. So then of course their color photos will always win out just because they process them better. I think in my case, I'm better at processing b&w photos than color ones...so people tend to like my b&w shots more (not necessarily because the shot looks better in B&w - just because i did a better job on that photo in b&w)
Im rambling...sorry...
