I'm a big fan of black and white, but the color photo here wins a comparison test for me. The b&w looks flat.

It's a tough call. I think the water drops show up better in the black and white. As Jaymatt said it might be a little flat. If you punched up the contrast just a bit it would get my nod.

They are both very nice.

I think the water droplets DEFINITELY pop on B&W. Although the color photo is good, it doesn't have the special quality that the B&W offers. IMHO.

Really nice, both shots. The color is a bit too shallow in dof IMHO. I'd like to see the pistals in focus (as in the B&W). The B&W is a great example of close up and suitable for a wall hanger. The color is not quite up to that, again, in my opinion.

The black and white is not. It is a grey. You need to expand the tonal range in post so that it pops. Otherwise it is rather dull.
