Color and conversion, I can't decide what one I like best. C&C welcomed, thanks for looking.

The black and white is very dramatic...almost makes it feel like a war-torn area, or an area ravaged by fire. The b/w is a MUCH stronger image than the color, IMO.

Although both pictures seem a little bit bottom heavy...I find the color one to be fantastic...

Of course, we all love those cute critters, the Beavers...

Colored one for me. The Fall colors along with the bit of green and the blue reflection is very pleasing.

I much prefer the colored one although I still like it in B+W. It is two entirely different looks.

Well I guess it's unanimous, 3 for color & 3 for b&w!!! I must say I prefer the color slightly. Thanks to all for looking and taking the time to comment.
