Which do you guys prefer?
You really need to view the B&W on black otherwise it looks way to dark. However I didn't know how to set that up. Any advice on that would be great.

Color.


It's a lens not a lense!

i say black and white, but only if you lighten the sky a little. there needs to be more separation between the stairs and sky. great shot though!

B&W. Its all about the form, isn't it? What does color add? (nothing) Just watch the sky; I'd use lightroom so its easily adjusted.
