I’m sharing this picture from one of the recent hikes near Jaipur. It was captured an hour after the sunrise in a beautiful location. Featured here is a hiker posing as the custodian of a derelict fort.
Following the tradition of Wordless Wednesday, I have posted a monochrome picture this time too. What’s your opinion? Do you feel that a color picture makes for a better frame?

You captured the tonal variations in the landscape shot very well. I believe this photo is more effective in monochrome, Arv!

I also feel contrast and tones are better captured in monochrome. But I guess certain aspects look better in color like dust and fog etc.

I think a color one would do more justice to the beautiful background, though this BnW one created the effect of a silhouette better.

Certainly, each has its own magic. B&W eliminates “extra” and focuses on its true essence. On the other hand, colored picture depicts the details better.

Arv, I feel that this image has a greater impact, rather than color. It tells a story

The beauty of monochrome is that it lets you soak in its true essence. It eliminates the “extra”! What;s your opinion?

Monochrome is always preferred however few photos require colour, suppose if you wish to show spring or autumn colour or some intricate glass work on a haveli.

I agree. I have already mentioned this in another comment that color helps in highlighting the details. Monochrome on the other hand accentuates emotions. Do you click monochrome pictures?

I do click, but mainly when I am either clicking a face or some monastery or old architecture.

The scripted is so well written and then the execution has to follow the sentiment of the beautiful scripting. There is mystic aura in the composition of black and white. It does take the beauty to a different stratosphere. It appears pure and clear. There is no noise hidden in the branches of colour. It would always be a good idea to put the color picture next to the black and white, and one can see the contrast, life after all is so much in relative perspective.
Always appreciate your wonderful efforts and making the moment count and you take that extra effort to capture that special moment that the nature gives to us.

First I read the description that informed about the place and the time of the day, specifically the Sin Set time. Going by the narration, I felt the photo would have looked more majestic in colour. It would have give justice to the subtle shades at the horizon.
Without the narration, the photo as a stand alone, looks aristocratic courtesy monochromatic hues.
