Which do you prefer, color or black and white? Or do any of them have any interest?

The colored picture in both case. The valley in the background is too dark to make the B&W photos interesting.

Luen, in this case I think the color shots win. Since there is no cloud structure to add drama, the b&W's just lack "punch."

Personally I find the B&W versions much more interesting... especially after downloading the larger version.
Of the two, I prefer the second image with the tree in the foreground more prominent.
It would be an interesting site to shoot at different times of the day to see how it changes with the light.

I prefer, out of all 4, the last 2, specifically the B&W. With a little work in post, you could bring out hidden details in the shadows.

Black and white--I think the layers show up better than in the color shots.

In my opinion B&W makes only sense for architecture and colorless art (statues for instance).
I did not like your B&W images.

The composition is much stronger in the second pair IMO. In the first, there is no clear point of interest, just a lot of small details and mostly distant. As regrender suggests, there is much more that could be brought out in pp with #4, but also #3 has potential, I think. I'm going to send you some ideas via pm

This is exciting to get all your opinions and comments and I thank you for sharing them. This is a great forum for learning. I once entered a photo of "human interest" in a contest and received the lowest points possible. I still liked it and entered it in the State Fair where it won Best of Show. I know these photos aren't that quality, but this is a great place for good advice. I appreciate all the advice. Luen
