I was wandering around the market yesterday lunchtime and this guy recognised me and asked me over. He was pretty insistent on having his photograph taken which makes a nice change!

There was some nice ambient light and a good background, plus his headwear and clothing was slightly different to most of the workers in the market, so I thought it would make a good photograph.

His staff were taking the p!ss a little so he posed on a very strong way which really made it for me:

Both are excellent; it is difficult to pick a favorite. Once again, I really like seeing your presentation of both, together.

Like RexGig said.

Although I still lean towards B&W.

Amazing shots, really good work! Personally I prefer the color one, but it's really nice that you post both a B&W one and the color one :)
