I like them both to be honest haha. I would boost the contrast a bit on them though.

I like the edit for it's increased depth, but I would ease it back a bit.

To me, the noise bugs me a bit in the color version, so I lean towards the b/w version which works better (although I might bring the contrast and/or blacks up a bit).

Looks good!

I like the color better but I see the noise. I would also in my opinion, crop in a little more if possible to get the carriage closer.

thanks for the input - noise added on purpose to give an old film look, and I didn't want to crop out the mud and rope in the foreground as they lend to the creepyness of the enviroment in which i found this abanonded carriage

the carriage is in focus. i added noise and some slight diffusing to give it an old film type of look, slightly blurry look. i guess you guys just aren't a fan of the PP.
