I like the color on this one, the building is sharper and more prominent than the B&W

I think this photo should be in color, the B&W doesn't seem to be appropiated for it.

I think it could look nice black and white but needs some of the contrast alot of B&W's have. Or maybe just a light desaturation....
I three three side by side to get a better feel and adjusted the B&W a bit and tried desaturating a bit. You can see them here to see what I meant.

This would be good in b&w it if was just the buildings and it was done fairly high-key. However, the way you have it here is better in color.

I must agree with the above - colour is best for this picture.

Hi I know this is not what you ask but have you tried it in sepia? the color of the buildings are almost that now and I think it may work better than the color or B&W .

I would say color is better here. You need the colors to drive the eyes through the scene.I usually use B&W when colors are distracting the eyes from the subject and with higher contrast I would have used for the colored one.

I like the colour one much better, the dust/sand on the hills (I was gonna say snow, but I don't think it's snow...) looks weird to me in black and white. And I love the colour of the buildings too!
