Both excellent shots! Have looked at both of them in DL a number of times. Each one has its strengths. In the first it is, of course, the richness and sharp contrast in color that is so appealing. In the second, the pattern of the fence and the mood are what prevail. I like the tonal range in the B&W. Well done on the composition. As Mike says, emotionally they impact us in different ways.
Thank you for your detailed assessment GreyOwl.
