Why not color for this one?

Well, the colored version has so many different colors that the photo is very turbulent
and the viewer doesn´t find a fix point to focus.
In the b/w version the pic gets a structure, the contrast between the black lady on one side
and the white plane on the other side is to be seen in the first moment.
Also the shadows become clearer and the photo is more interesting.

All this is my opinion which must not be the right one in general - for me it is.

For you to compare here the colored version

Yep, B&W. Although I would increase the mid-range contrast.

Ulrich, I like your explanation as to why you chose the B&W shot over the color shot. It's always great to learn new things from experts, especially when you are a beginner like me.

I'm with Gary on this one. The B&W needs more punch. I like the color version quite a bit also.
