Autumn Reflections

Seen on a waterway in the City of Hamburg. What do you think? Color or BW?

I like both. Two completely different moods. BW reminds me of snow. The trees: painterly. Very nice, Harald.

Both have a Monet-ish feel to them but I'd have to opt for the color, though would like to see more saturation in the leaves to provide a stronger contrast to the blue of the sky.

I've already though about it but I've discarded the result. Here's from the waste-bin... Yes, you could be right.

For me, much better.

Superb, my favorite is the color version. The blue of the sky/water plays so well with the golden leaves…

Engaging, Harald.

Definitely go with the color.  In B&W the tone of the background begins to merge with some of the leaves and branches making the picture seem too busy.  The blue makes for separation.
