Both versions are excellent, Bill. But after going back and forth a number of times, I think I would give the nod to color here.

I feel that the leaning tree and copper leaves compete for attention, so the b&w is better.

But #2 and 3 are my favorites. Good catches.

I like the second image best. The lines of the tree branches look as if they were stylized by an illustrator for effect. Mesmerizing.
It was something I noticed as I composed the shot. A move too far around to the right, and that line of snow on the foreground trees was lost. Move back again & suddenly there was that outline. Had the snowfall been heavier, and had a thaw not already set in, it would have looked very different. Yeah I know, obviously, but I don't think the effect would have been as pronounced.

As would I, but not without much thought.

I really like the first image of the fallen tree and the way it makes me look around the scene, and I like it even more in mono.

Nice work Bill.

Yes, I think in this instance, the colour works best. Then again ....

All three look good to me but my favorite by far is the second one.

in the pano, upon opening it, i was intensely drawn to what looks like a foggy valley on the far left... "what's down there?" i wondered.  maybe a 9:5 crop starting on that side to the edge of the road?  all three wonderful though!
