I do believe that one ought to know, in advance, whether the photos one is about to make are to be in color or bw. Normally with this celebration in Spain my choice would be bw, and that will certainly apply to the photos you will make later. In the case of this image ..it is different from the usual, color seems best here, so maybe your gallery will have both.
