Inside My Velvet Rope

Even though they're both action shots, shot A, seems to be paused, while shot B seems to be moving. Black and white creates feeling of stillness for me, which is why A seems to work better in black and white. It is already still. B is more alive? and thus, in black adn white seems artifically frozen somehow. I feel like I'm waiting for the picture to thaw out and get moving again.
