+1 @ WB vs. Mood.
However, the quality/orientation/direction of the light in golden hour (raking sidelight) is different from the quality/orientation/direction of the noon light. Depending on your orientation @ NESW, you may want your light for modeling purposes ... even if you don't want to showcase the mood of the light at a given time of day (warm or cool).
My question is what's the difference between making a WB setting in camera vs. post-camera? Isn't the process still going to incorporate an algorithm adjustment by a parameter you define (or AWB assumes/calculates). Personally, I believe you have more control in post than you do in-camera. I tend to shoot daylight balance (as I would have in the chrome days) to allow natural ambient to reveal its colors, then decide in post if I want to neutralize them or showcase them for mood, etc.
+1 @ Dennis ... I'm spot on in agreement on all his points ... especially that a good neutral can anchor the colors, and the cast makes the image go blah.

Neutral ambient, what does that mean? How do you find it? If I use AWB in camera is that the same as Auto wb in ACR? I see that the presets in ACR are not identical to what the camera sets, but perhaps close enough.
You say no edits in the 4 images, I assume you changed only WB? I see my cooler images process darker than my warmer conversions, is that what you are demonstrating with the B&W?
