B&W of :
Didn't do too much to this at all---the worst thing I think I could do is over do an already busy subject... but it is definitely better in B&W than the color one I posted a few days ago I THINK... COMMENTS ETC ALWAYS WELCOME!--JG

I guess I'm just a color fan Jack; at least at web resolution I prefer that version. That's just personal preference, both are wonderful renditions of a great shot.

I actually vote for the color version on this one. I love b&w, but the color works for me better in this situation.

I like the color one also, but maybe a little less saturation, at least on my screen, the color one that is. :)

Make it four. The b&w is nice, but I think the color is much more impactful. It could benefit from some selective brightening/dodging, and possibly a reduction in saturation as Cliff suggested.

Color gets my vote as well. The B/W is nice, but I just love the colors that are present here.
