    B&W or Color?

    I was playing with this shot and was hoping to get some feedback. Which works better? I also welcome your input on changes I should make in either one.

    Thanks,

    Oooo, that's tough.... Normally I would say black and white as it is my preference but, I LOVE the blue in the sky. Sooo, I'm going to have to say color, though I do like the b&w a lot as well. Nice job on both

    Im gonna say Black and white but i think it could benefit from some burning on the solid white sections like the rock and the sunlit side of the building. the gradiant in the sky is a little more realistic and it results in a more solid photograph. Nice shot btw.
    I don't want it, I just need it...to breath ...to feel ...to know I'm alive.

    Tough choice as I like them both.
    The b&w gives more of a spooky mood but spooky isn't the right word.
    Keep Shooting!

    I agree w/ everyone else -- they're both good! I wish the black and white one's building top wasn't fading out into the sky, but perhaps you can adjust that. The top of the right bldg might be too close to the edge of the shot here, but otherwise, Great shot.
