but color > gray scale
there are way more colors than there are grays.

and a photo being b/w i find blocks out a lot of details (good or bad) that you wouldnt necessarily see if it was in color.

Dude, you're coming across here as if you don't know shit about black and white photography, which is probably quite likely.

I was undecided between the photo 5 or 6. In the end I opted for the 5 because it is original and warm colors intrigue me. The photo 6 is the Jewish Museum in Berlin, I like the choice of perspective, but in my opinion, completely missing an eye on architecture.

Of course I also have views on other photographs, I keep to myself because I do not seem relevant.

It's an undeniably nice interior shot, but it seems to be something you'd see in an interior design mag, rather than an architectural mag. It's the only photography that immediately jumped out at me though. Need to think more before casting my vote.

That's like saying more Nazis > less Nazis. More is better doesn't run when it comes to photography.
The simplicity of b&w cannot only be artistically "appropriate" but conveys an entirely different feel than use of color.
To disregard black and white photography is to ignore the history of the medium and to limit your ability to produce certain thematic qualities.
