I like them both but prefer the color version. Great composition!
Thanks for selecting one Nimbushopper.
IMHO the color is preferable. I usually am partial to B&W but the colors in this are very nice
I prefer the color I think the vivid colors really pop.

B&W is my choice. The color shot has certain qualities but for me the B&W does it best.

Thanks Bob....I would have figured you for the B&W in this one.
I know...crazy...but I'm not crazy about the sepia with this shot, and I don't see enough range from black blacks, to white whites...(and that's just my opinion...which means absolutely nothing!!!)...I do like your revised post!!

Nice shot and I prefer the color.
You're kidding, right? Color is full of life and true. B&W is blah.

The black and white looks a lot like Sepia. Which I like the older look. A bit more contrast I would think and darker on rest.
Thanks for commenting Nature Nut.

I generally prefer color over B/W. However, this photo has the foreground all in shade and the background in full sun and I think the difference in white balance between the two is making it look a bit odd overall. Get the foreground right and the background is off, get the background right and the foreground is off, and choosing something in the middle is probably going to look odd as well. Could probably be fixed easily using layers to color balance each then combine. I think the color is a bit oversaturated as well, but many folks like really vivid colors and it's your choice. Good luck and good shooting to all.

Color best. It drew me in while the sepia just sort of faded like a long forgotten dream.
Thank you both for looking and opining.
Thats why nobody wants black and white tv's.
I go with the color version in these two images.Now if it was a true b&w i probably would have picked the b&w.

Bmac, In this case I prefer the color rendition as it better reflects the fall colors, but I think the green rushes and cattails are far too bright considering the mostly grey fall colors on the trees in the far background. As I recall, hopefully correctly the cattails and most salt water front plants had some greenish grey winter foliage and were a dull grey.
Monochrome, the sky appears to bright for me in the color
