Rajan, I have a feeling I may be flying in the face of public sentiment on this one - but I really like the colour version (goes looking for the asbestos flame retardant suit)  ::)

They are really two different images, in mood at least.

I like the B&W for the way the lonely farm house stands out against the desolate background.

But I also like the color one. To my eye , that green is iconically Iceland.

So maybe I'd hang the B&W one on my wall Mondays through Wednesdays and the color one Thursdays through Saturday (leaving Sunday to pick whichever fits my own mood that day).  ;)

Nice. I'm curious as to what the colour version would look like if it was processed to be as dark and moody as the B+W.

Thank you all, for your remarks.

Josh, I like the colour image, too.  As Eric says, it is quintessentially Iceland.

nice, a little bit dark but nice, mystical place, feels calm and relaxing.

Interesting....this should make s excellent mono but somehow i prefer the colour and i think its because essentially of the light in the colour. This edit of the mono has limited tonal seperation/contrast giving the over all impression of been very dark....i suspect if you could separate some tones especially in the cliffs you'd have a mono winner
