Getting Ready...
From the surf carnival at Manly Beach today. I thought the mono conversion suited this look of preparation. Taken with the 70-200VR:

I always think of shots like this as all gold & red and yellow - bright, warm colours. This image runs so counter to that I just can't relate to it if that makes any sense. Peter

I understand perfectly Peter - I've added the colour version for an unofficial opinion poll

I'm in a different mind about it than Stubbsy (gee, what a shock eh).
I think that because the other guy next to him is so visible and not out-of-focus, it doesn't warrant the black & white treatment simply because it lacks the solitude his pose would warrant. Post the colour one if you could. I'd like to see the difference. EDIT: Damn. Beat me to it. Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

Agree with Leigh
If you were to have a closer crop on the guy so the other one wasn't in it, then I think the B&W would work - only problem then becomes where is he looking? Without space on the side he's looking towards, it may become unbalanced (?). The colour one is an improvement on the B&W as it currently stands, because it doesn't rely so much on the solitary nature of B&W - the colour actually makes the image busier, and you get a feeling of intensity despite the busy surroundings. Not sure if this makes sense, it does in my solitary mind  *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Colour with a tighter crop top & right
