I like them both but the B&W looks like a lithograph from the 1860s (or whenever they did lithographs like that). I like the B&W very much.

I like both but leaning toward the color. ;-)

Thanks. After I had finished and posted these, I noticed how closely the tone of the tree on the left is to the surrounding elements. I'm going to see if I can adjust this for more tonal separation. At this point, I prefer the color version for this reason. Thanks for looking/commenting.

I like the color a little more. The B&W might be better with a bit more contrast.

I am very drawn to the color version in this instance. The colors are so beautiful - the greens and the water color! I really like the composition of this shot, too.

I like the color one. The B&W needs more contrast. The color one shows the contrasts better. It's also clearer as to the lushness of the area. I think it has more "pop."

I guess I'm the salmon who swims against the current because in spite of possible need for more contrast, I feel since the subject IS the waterfall, my attention is drawn directly to the water in the B&W version more than in the color version. The color is good but a bit distracting from the waterfall itself.

Color. But what I really like is that it is not "overlySmoothed"- if that's the correct phrase. So you can really see the detail

The b/w could be nice but you have to separate the tree from the background. Also, the image looks more grainy than the color version. Did you add noise?
