Color...or Black and White?

When you take photos do they always look good (or appropriate) in color? In other words, what mood are you trying to capture?

Below are two pictures: one in color and one in B/W. My friend took the original in color, but I thought it looked more appropriate in B/W.

Comments?

For me, I like the B&W one as it looks more like an old photo and has more "feel" to it

i like B&W photo as "It" captures more hidden emotion/feeling/detail, otherwise will be missed under the colorful photo. ;)

There is no Right or Wrong in photography; just perspective!
