Which is better? B&W or Colour?

Met Sam in town for lunch today and caught the Swans victory thing at town hall.
Would appreciate your comments and critique on these: are they better in colour or BW and do they work at all?
Cheers

Matt, I once saw a bloke win a comp with a really good image like that, think he won a lens or something.

B&W I reckon. I think the contrast looks better.

I was going to ask if anyone was there as I thought it may have been a nice colourful event....
Both versions do something for me... I think the colour ones just make me jealous on how good a day weather wise it appears to be!

B&W shows the building a lot better looks great

I prefer the colour one, although would like to see the B&W with a red tint introduced instead of black - I think that would work

Agree with Sheepie. I prefer the colour versions however with the heart, you could try tinting inside the heart with red

I prefer the blue one, and I remember seeing that comp winning photo, I'd say from memory this one is just as good.

This is a case where both color and B&W work and are good. Of the B&Ws though I like the 2nd one best. Nicely Done!

nice photos Matt.
Perhaps they might look more appropriate if you use the
Replace Colour tool in
PS and change the BLUE sky to RED
The blue sky does it for me, though the B&W's are nice also.

B&W is much better. Less distraction and very nice tonal range.

A pureist swans supporter would have made it monochrome, but with red going to white.
