Colour - you can't throw away that extra-ordinary light on a B&W conversion. I would alos increase contrast slightly and maybe try darkening the sky a little for better contrast. Heres a quick edit, hope you don't mind. http://natureimmortal.blogspot.com

Just because you kill the saturation does not make it art. But I agree with the earlier poster, contrast and darken to make the color pop. Not sure why, but call me JJ.
