This version adds an entirely new dimension to this image, Kal. It about two worlds -- exterior and interior. His exterior world is bathed in vibrant colors and covered with a red tent -- a world that he can't inhabit, only market. He, on the other hand, inhabits an interior world of bluish green -- cavelike, confined, and discrete. He is comfortable there, watching us from his sanctuary. None of this really comes through in the black and white version. In that image, your monochromatic treatment renders everything equal, and he is lost somewhere in the chaos. Yes, that image means much. But this means even more to me.

Having not seen the BW version, I'll comment only of this image. I like it very much! The doorway to the vendor could be BW and enhance its effect.

Yes, interesting in colours too. I think I prefer the black and white, though. AL's explanation is very close to my point of view.

I'm not sure which one I like best. They both have a different meaning to me, and I believe they're equally good.

yes, i am for the colour version but i see your point it has not meaning like this in the bulb series.

My personal preference is your original b&w version as it fitted into your gallery theme. Be it a play of light or mood, the b&w version "tells a better story". Capturing the harshness of life and how people live and survive out of the "darkness". The human element does play a key role in your pic, but I don't mind his less visible presence. A feel of mystery or uncertainty. The color version tends to highlight the busy detail, overshadowing your intent if I correctly interpret. Just my humble opinion anyway. It's very subjective, everyone has a point to make :)

Yes, because the whole series of bulb light is about the austereness of life under that bulb. A kind of symbol of hope in the darkness. It is about the harshness of that same light that allows us to see. Colour here makes this too liveley for the intention of the series. It works for me in colour, but not for the By Bulb light series.K

Thanks .. Totally different as the B&W. very strange how the impact of colors cahnge an image. One question, when shooting it, did you have B&W in mind?
