I have two photos for comparison in this post. I took both with my new point and shoot camera. I did not use a tripod. Neither photo has any post-editing aside from scaling the images. The first was taken in “vivid” mode, an internal to the camera color boost:
ISO 100 4.3mm f/8 1/200
This next one was taken in “monochrome”
ISO 100 4.3mm f/8 1/200
Do you prefer one photo over the other?
Cheers!

I’m a mono guy but love the colour shot although I personally would crop more of the foreground out of these shots and deepen the darks on the mono shot.

I have never worked much with mono, but maybe I will see what I can do in post editing with this shot. Thanks for your comments!

If I’m comparing color to black & white, I will always prefer color. My eye sees in color, so that’s what I like. However, if you don’t show me the color picture, I will often like the black & white.

I have a natural preference for color as well. I hadn’t thought of it in the same way as you stated it though, interesting. Thanks!
