My vote is for color. without the color contratst, there isn't much to hold the eye.

I like the color better. The darker area in the center on the color tends to pull you in as if you are exploring, whereas the black and white you lose it. The color shows more detail which is what you want with the different and many trees involved.

In the B+W, where the evergreens are look like black holes-- not so appealing. I favor the color for the "design" element, Joe. Nice eye for it.
