Yeah THIS is a tough one! The color one brings out more of the details of the image! You see the moss growing on the left side of the window! The ivy inter-twined with that fence! Very RUSTIC feel (I love rustic...btw) The B&W version really adds drama and evoke an different mood (to me anyways!), BUT everything blends...all those suddle nuances in the color version seems lost to me. The 3rd is a good compromise between the 2! Maybe expand on this and the selective colors thang! Highlight the details in my comments above (for image 1) Btw...How DO you do the POP OUT BORDER (with the flower!)! I've tried to do this on some of my images and have pretty much gave up! (can you say TUTORIAL?)
