Beijing Photowalk Shot

I took this shot of an older lady here in Beijing. I processed it both black and white and color which do you think looks better?

Personally I LOVE the color one. I like it more because it's there is just so many people who shoot in B+W of older persons and it gets boring. I see a lot more expression in the color format whilst the black and white version almost makes her look like a monkey (No offense to the person or the photography, just IMO)

I prefer the colour one as well; the colours are pretty complimentary, this works very well.

Thanks for the comments guys i too like the color one. JUst some people were saying they thought it would look better in black and white.

It's all opinion man Who are you trying to please? Yourself or everyone around you? I choose to make my photos please myself over what pleases other people, not surprisingly my favorite photos get only one or two liked from my friends on Facebook ;P

Thanks for the comment xarik I agree we should do what pleases us but sometimes I just like to hear what others have to say and keep an open mind.
