[Leica] [IMG]: PESO Drummer - My view

[Peter Dzwig]

Yes, Lluis I agree with you. If I were printing large for an exhibition
or something like that then B&W for sure - perhaps with a bit of work
done on it to make it "sparkle" more.

In the B&W I find that my attention gets drawn to the girl's face over
his shoulder which is much less noticeable in colour.
