Colour or black and white?

Took this today of my little one at the park and can't decide what I prefer?! What do you think?

Definitely the colour - it adds so much to the image. Adorable!

B&W is better used when the colours are not
contributing to the pleasure factor of an image.

Your colours are vivid, punchy and are not con-
flicting with the subject. so…

Colour for me as well. Nice capture.

For me, the colour brings warmth and atmosphere.

I'm a Yank, so I like the "color" image better. Both are good, though.

Thanks guys I think I do prefer the colour too but I do have a soft spot for B&W images!

Definately colour! Nice shot

Lovely! The colour for me, but the red is so strong that I'd be tempted to try cropping into the bobble and going for a widescreen format. That'd also put his eyes higher in the frame.

Colour for me.

Colour by a long way for me.

I'm a big B/W fan but this image demands colour. Oh, and I like the shot

I'd love to say b&w just so I'm not agreeing with everyone and repeating but I can't. Colour

Beautiful shot!. I prefer the colour one, blue, red and yellow in the picture really make it work.
