I voted that my best picture is in mono. This, historically, is how almost all of my film pictures were taken and it's the medium that's produced the majority of well-known, published photographs that I admire the most. The odd thing, to me, is that almost all of my pictures that I've taken since going digital have been very definitely colour images. I don't think it's that I can no longer visualise in black and white, I think it's more to do with the fact that, finally, I feel I have full control over the colour process and can now explore it.
Anyway, here is the image that has given me the most satisfaction. It's far from being my most viewed on Flickr and didn't elicit as many comments at my camera club as some of my other pictures, but it's the one that I'm most proud of. Perhaps it shows that I've always admired the work of Eward Weston!

Difficult. My Windows backgrounds are both colour shots, but that's because they have particular personal associations as well as being rather nice to look at. My Flickr stream is virtually all B&W however as I generally find it easier to take satisfying compositions in that medium, but the shots I try to sell are in colour because I suspect that's what the market wants.

Not sure that I have a 'best' photo, or that I would be the best person to judge anyway - but black and white does it for me every time.
I like this one:

It tends to vary according to my mood, but at the moment I'd have to opt for B&W (on the late lamented Scala).
