Post by: David Jilek on May 16, 2014, 09:53:01 pm

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.

I have to agree. Thanks for the confirmation

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.
