For this particular image I prefer the B&W. That's a bit unusual for me
and I tried to figure out why. I think it's because of the blue
feathers on the top of the helmets. The way they're being held they are
a strong distraction from the people. Take the color away and the
people suddenly pop out.

I do not usually ask for your help in editing photos—I consider that
it is up to me decide what to post and up to you to decide whether I
have posted pearls or garbage. 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.
Here is an example of an image in color:

and the same image in B&W:

Which one do you prefer, and why?
I would like to have the entire gallery in color or in B&W.
TIA, Nathan
