I like the first one. It offers its own fidelity to the subject and gives a strong sense of place. The composition attracts the eye. The high contrast works here although I generally prefer less.

These 2 photos were shot is color and converted to B&W in Affinity Photo. Two vastly different subjects: a view from Grand Tetons NP and cascading water in a local stream after recent flooding. I have to choose one or the other. Opinions, critiques most welcome.
