I like the B+W, but i'm seeing a little haloing on the top right pipe. Or I need to lay off the coffee at night.

i dont see any haloing.. but i like the B&W version. i feel the first one hurts my eyes too much to look at.. then again im tired as well.

I like the b&w also. The colors in the first one bother me a bit. Perhaps they can be edited?

As is I like the B&W, but I think the color has potential. Maybe bring down the the highlights a little bit and bump up the saturation in the green. I like the blue, but I do have a little pixelation in the upper right part of the sky.

I like the B&W better as well, but for a different reason. Looking at the color version, all I see is blue and green. But with the B&W my eyes are drawn towards the repeating patterns of the black rings inside the tubes. Nicely done.

I think the B&W is stronger because of the PP - if you could bring the colors of #1 into line there would be a nice striking difference between the clouds and the pipes. Right now they're all about the same hue and the lack of separation detracts from the image.

I, too, like the B&W best of the two. But, the color needs work and could be great but the sky color is a tad too green. Some adjustment of color would help the color version.
