This just struck me, caught me by surprise while I was surfing through a lot of messages (that I was not able to view regularly), and excited me a lot..!

Very beautiful image..!!

I also checked out the b/w one, and though I think that it is also a neat photo for its sharpness, tones, framing style, etc., this colored one is far more successful as it defines its subject matter perfectly...
The b/w one is rather an "interesting and clean texture work", while this one's "informativeness" is its one of the stronger features, I think.

Congrats... :)
