The black and white has a nice level of sophistication and subtlety. The color picture is quite garish. I would say stick with the black and white.

I usually pick black & white for some photo's but the color of the blue water and the green grass looks too good to pass up.

Hi, Bmac,
I am partial to your monochrome version... it’s emphasis on well-handled tonality is what grabs me.
To my eye a crucial compositional component is that solitary tree that just barely,,,but noticeably...breaks the horizon. It ties together - but also emphasizes - the delineation of earthly and sky tones.
Really well done!

A subjective question. Ok. I like b/w treatment of landscapes, so my nod goes to your second one. Nice composition in the landscape!

I too like black and white (monochrome). I convert many of my seashore pictures to them and print both the color and BW versions. I always end up framing the BW ones.
I like your B&W version. The color one is too garish, as another poster mentioned, for my taste.

Just a quick note on B&W. Green grass equates to 18% gray (the same as a gray card for exposure). You can use the grass to adjust the exposure of your B&W image.

I like your B&W treatment better. The color looks overcooked to me.

To be honest I find the color to be overcooked. I prefer the mono but would have not personally gone towards sepia with it. I am more a fan of deep blacks & contrast. But all this is part of the enjoyment of photography. There’s as many views as photographers. Nevertheless, it’s a fine image in my view. My compliments.
