My apologies in advance if this offends anyone.

>This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.
>Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought.
>By giving an honest answer you will discover where you stand morally.
>The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, in which you
>will have to make a decision.
>Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
>Thoughtfulness is important for this evaluation to be meaningful!
>Ready? Begin!
>
>You're inFlorida...In Miami, to be exact...
>There is chaos around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods.
>This is a flood of major proportions.
>You are a photo journalist working for a major newspaper caught in the
>middle of this great disaster.
>The situation is nearly hopeless.
>You're trying to shoot career-making photos.
>There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the
>water. Nature is showing all its destructive fury.
>
>You see a man in the water! He is fighting for his life, trying not to be
>taken away with the water and debris.
>You move closer.


>Somehow the man looks familiar. Suddenly, you know who it is... it's George
>W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to
>take him under, forever.
>You have two options.


>You can save him or you can take the most dramatic photos of your life.
>You can save the life of George W. Bush or you can shoot a Pulitzer
>Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

>Would you select colour film, or would you prefer to go with the classic
>simplicity of black and white?

I haven't reat the question yet but want to point out the inconsistency of your instructions. As a test of morality you want a totally spontaneuous reply yet you ask for thoughtful reflection. One negates the other IMHO.

Depends if I was shooting film I would shoot black and white. If I had my 10D I would convert the water to black and leave him in color.
