BW my choice for "street" shots, I am biased tho, started with bw and M2 many,many years ago. Still do a bit of film and rangefinder work when health permitts, regards

BTW a really great image !, dont mind the blown out highlights, concentrates the viewer to the subject.

Yes, this is very nice in Black and White. A bit more dramatic.

This is a powerful image. The girls expression shows the joy of youth, and belies the exploitation of the Padaung by the thai government. Beautiful

@stolenlife: Yes ... we also need to consider the horrors they would have lived if they had remained.

I prefer the black & white version, I see more emotions on black & whites...
