I went back and forth on this one in BW and color, as I do from time to time. The question was whether the very subtle colors of the original (which were very close to being monochrome) were interesting enough in their own right or whether putting it into black and white would focus more clearly on the texture/form subject. In some cases I know when I make the exposure that the image is heading towards black and white. In this case, my recollection is that I thought there was a very good chance that it would end up in monochrome, but that I wasn't totally committed to that idea at the time of exposure.
