Color or B&W?

What does work best for this one?

I like em both but as an Ansel Adams fan I really like the B&W.

The black & white, I think. The color of the distant mountain is starting to get a little muddy and hazy, which is cleared up in the B/W.

The black and white gets my vote, and lose a bit of the sharpening because you're getting halos around the trees at left.

Thanks for the feedbacks so far.

What can i do to remove the haze? Tried recoloring with selective colors in PS and with dodge and burn but that makes it look very bad...

agreed!

B&W for me as well. In the colour version the lack of any colour in the sky doesn't balance well with the colour in the rest of the picture IMHO.

RE: The haze; learn to love it. Asie from that the only thing I could think to do about it would be to select only the mountains and raise the temperature, like add yellow/orange to help negate the blue.. that may help, but I'm not making any promises :P You wouldn't have to worry about any weird colours if you're using a B&W in the end, but I actually like how the haze looks.

I did that but then the green on the left looks disturbing and making that yellowish aswell makes it sepia haha. Okay b&w.. I hope ill get a color landscape anytime soon because just making it b&w seems like cheatinv to me lol

The black and white is preferable to my eye.

I like the color of the water up close, but overall I choose the bw

Did you try selectively colouring and then leaving the green on the left alone? Or make everything a little yellower and then add some blue back into the green parts on the left? Haha, it's starting to sound like a little more work than it's worth. I'd second the motion that you make this black and white because of how colourless the sky is anyway. Try for another colour picture during sunrise or sunset and hope for the best!
