Hi Tina
The content is interesting enough without colour. Besides colour would 
probably be so intense it would take away from reading the content to 
discover he's climbing the tree in his bare feet! OUCH THAT MUST HURT! :-) 
Once again when it's interesting "content!" Do we always need colour to 
distract?

Besides one must always keep the creed and motto in mind: :-)

"REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOOT B&W! EAT SUSHI! AND DRINK SINGLE MALT SCOTCH!" :-)

OR?.............................

"When you photograph people in colour; you photograph their clothes. But 
when you photograph people in B&W you photograph their souls'!"

Keeping that in mind quite often eliminates the stress of... "Should I shoot 
colour? Or B&W?" The answer is obvious by following the code! ;-) After all 
you've proven it correct here! Thank you. :-)
cheers,
ted
