It is the b&w for me. I am glad in a way that somebody else is caught in the 
dilemma of colour or b&w. For me it is one of the problems of shooting 
digital RAW. You saw the image in b&w, and that is why you took it, but you 
then had to rethink when you loaded it on to the computer because you then 
had to rethink it. This is one of the primary reasons I have gone back to 
film: once I have pressed the button there is no going back.
