Photographed it first in color, but it calls for B&W. Not sure which I like the best and am open for opinions.

For me color adds nothing to this image. It's all about lines and contrasts, with a little dose of mystery (what lies in the dark shadows behind? ). Nicely done!

John, I like the Black ad White the best. Makes the birch trees standout.

Nice shot. I would not make it black and white, but just eliminate the green and yellow.

Yes, the B&W works better.

The B&W is a much better choice IMO

Thanks Linda. You put into words what makes B&W special in cases like this.

Thanks Stan. I'm leaning that way, but wondered what others thought.

B&W. It's contrast has a little "snap" to it that took my attention away from the color version.

And the winner, by a long, long distance is the black and white.
