Which one of these two do you prefer here - BW or Color?

[Olympus E300]

That's the problems with file conversion. This scene should be shot on Tmax 100, rated maybe at ISO 80, with orange filter and compensated in development. Initial shot is underexposed and then conversion is or too harsh or too flat. In both, the Travelers and yours second version the sky is grayish, without any character.

I fully agree! Thanks!!
