Luis,
It depends on the mood you are trying to convey. The B&W image is 
somber and a bit sad. A lonely man walking home in the rain. The color 
image has a bit of magic about it. Still a man walking in the rain but 
no sadness about it.
In this case I personally prefer the color. Perhaps it is the Christmas 
season.
