Which One: B&W or Colour?

[Michael]

Hi Guys

I took this shot the other night while out walking. Im trying to decide on which one looks best, im probably going to be entering it into a local contest for school. I would like some expert opinions please?

I haven't voted because neither really stand out. I think you could do more with the B&W version, more contrast and grain would give better impact.

I'd go with Neil on this. I voted for the BW version but think you might add some depth and impact to the shot.:)

I've changed the contrast a bit guys. How about now?

Better, but I think it needs some serious grain, there is alot of sky and the branches are getting lost in it at the top. A bit of grain would add a bit of character, but thats my opinion.
