The black and white version evoques a very different emotional response, definitely fits better with the title. One can visualize the sky about to pour...
I can't decide if the tree branches in the background are a good thing or not... they complement the chief's headdress, but distract a little at the same time. Perhaps getting the leafs toned down a bit would be helpful.

| I prefer the Blk & Wht. It give the subject strength and he stands out against his background. Love it. Gave it a 10! |

Especially great to see that it was a masterful B&W image that did it for you, given your commitment to that genre lately. Congratulations. It's a very worthy winner and so are you. |

A ribbon??? Wow! Thanks so much for the votes, and congratuations to inede and nshapiro for their ribbons as well!
Anyway, several people commented during voting that they'd like to see this photo in color, so here it is:

Great image
Fantastic composition
the B&W works here but i would like to see it in colour as well, but then you are making the viewer think of all the vibrant colours in the headdress.
Good luck
