Took this a while back. Re-visited it last night and cannot decide which version works better, if any? I was a bit scared when I took this pic as the chap was walking straight at me and thought he might smack me for taking his pic.

#2 for me as I have a problem with all that colour noise in #1 He also seems to stand out better in the mono shot.
 
Yup I'm going for number two too.
In the first one my eye is drawn to the bus 'sitting' on his head, without the colour this isn't as distracting.
And in the colour shot there is very strong colour noise. Although I've never seen noise quite like this before, so it may be something else.
Either way no2 for me.

I have to agree with the previous two replies. There's just too much background distraction in the colour image, which dissappears in B&W. I do like the use of DOF... he projects toward the viewer.
 
thanks, guys. Looks like 2 it is then.

BTW, the effect in #1 is deliberate. It is film effect using colour Efex software on PS.
