For me it has to be the colour version, the b&w I think has gone a bit flat. A better tonal range might help to give it a bit of depth.

the b&w is a nice picture, but the color pic really catches my eye...beautiful picture!

Hey thanks to you all. I really appreciate the comments

Yep the color photo is definitely a keeper.

The colour shot is wonderful- the blue is stunning.

love the colour one

thank you all .. this is a dramatic edit.. alot of cropping and the flower was actually a very pale pink color before.. i like the blue much better... thanks for all the positive responses

color! very interesting flower.
