I really like both but I think I like the color better.

They're both different of course, but this image is about colour for me.

Colour. The b&w has a good deal of appeal, but it's the colour that makes the shot.

While the colours are beautiful, the disembodied twig on the wood background says "dead" to me, so the black & white seems more appropriate. I suggest adding a bit of warmth with some split toning.
