Back from Moab last week and caught this scene. Any preferances to the color or almost BW ?

They both have good qualities. I 'd like to see a full on B+W with a red filter too.

I like them both. I love the warm, punchy colors in the first, and the desaturated nature of the second. Print them both!

I love both the Full Color and Muted Color, both equally are strong images.

BW for me on this one. The textures and comp carry the BW version very well.

I think they are both appealling, but if I had to choose, I'd vote for the color version.

The warmth in the land really makes this image for me ... so color.

I vote for B&W, the varied textures of the bottom half of the photo are showcased better in that version. While I really like the warm tones in the bottom half of the color version, the lack of color on the top half weakens the effectiveness in the original image IMO.

I'll vote for the BW. Really nice image!

Thanks for the kind words and input everyone.
I still can't decide which one I like best

Really tough call, but I fall onto the color side of the fence.

I like both, but I'm leaning toward the color.
