But for once I am in genuine doubt. I am selecting pictures from Semana Santa to make a small gallery. The processions culminate tomorrow, so I will likely go downtown during the day to document the meeting of the Virgin and the resurrected Jesus in front of Alicante’s city hall that marks the end of Easter here. Right now, I am editing the pictures from last night, and what I cannot decide is whether to present them in B&W or color. On the one hand, the colors are an integral part of the events; but then again, presenting the images in B&W changes the mood to something more menacing, for example in the PAD I posted earlier today.

thanks Nathan, a good summary of the issues above, and I agree. 

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. C’est la vie.
