Colour vs Black and white

Here are some images I took at Charles town last week - I have taken my favourite images and edited them from colour into black and white but kept both images to see the comparison. I feel that the images I have take all look nicer and more sophisticated in black and white compared to colour. I think that all of these images also look quite nostalgic in black and white - I edited them so the shadows were increased and added grain onto the images to give them a more 'film' effect. 

In these images, as you can see, there is a lot of negative space - however when you look at both of these images the colour in them changes the whole concept of the image. The black and white image looks more deep and meaningful whereas the coloured image looks more bright and just like a normal image when you look at it.
