I like that too. I am sorry to bring up an old question Tina. First question to me is always, what is the photo about?  What is its emotional impact due to (if it has any)?  If it does,  then, is color part of that?  If not, then bw. Otherwise, in my ho,  the color issues undermine the essential thrust of the photo.
