Hi Morkel,
Thanks for providing both versions - as you know I find that very useful...
Have to say that I like both versions, but in pure aesthetic terms I prefer the B&W version slightly more. But that being said, I can see the colour version being preferred and/or used for a number of things. What I'm getting at is that if I had to choose one for a print, then I'd go with the B&W. But I can see some magazines wanting the colour version. So if it were mine I'd offer it up both ways.
Thoughts common to both versions: While a textbook composition (splitting of frame, position of main subject, etc.) and not at all "thinking outside the box" - this one works real well (guess that's why it's become textbook composition, eh?). Lighting is sweet, sky in interesting in a subtle way. Simply a solid, appealing shot - well done.
Cheers...
Brad
