Default The Scream - Better in Colour or B&W
I really love this photo but I can't decide if it is better in B&W or Colour. Also do you find the nose being out of focus too distracting?

Thanks for your thoughts!

I agree with those saying colour!

The freckles just don't translate so well in B&W IMO.
