I agree with ann-mom, go with colour, crop off the bottom third (just below the walker), and print as panoramic.

Color would be my choice for this one. Not feeling the bottom of the shot and would turn it to a panorama but thats just me.

I agree about the crop -- a little glaring down there. The edit is much better. Also, COLOR. I love the blue of that sky! Nice job. :)

I like the cropped colour version - but I'm not too fond of the watermark.

Ditto - i like cropped color, and you should try to find a less obtrusive watermark
