Yeah. That Ansel Adams guy would have been a heck of a lot more
interesting if he'd have shot more in color.
As it is he's BOR-RING.

Kind of like that Knarf fellow.

I find that some images work better in B&W and others in color, while
others are fine either way. Sometimes the color adds something that
brings out the key points, and sometimes it adds more noise than signal.
My feeling is that with this photo, the color on the wall behind the
stairs, and the color of the door subtly separate them, that in the B&W
it's just black stairs against an uninteresting grey background. I think
that the third shot, with the grey wall and the yellow posts is too
cluttered. I think that the grey wall in the first shot just doesn't add
anything, and anything that doesn't add to the picture should be taken
out. It's possible that a square crop with the yellow poles would work,
without seeming cluttered, but then the door wouldn't be to nowhere.
