I love the black and white one...the shadows make it really stand out and catch your eye and will not let go ;) Great shot! :D

The vivid colors are a bit distracting for my taste. I'd prefer the b/w version, too! Concentrates more on the lightplay!

Looks much better, than the color version, imho, although I'd still prefer the b/w version. But maybe that's only, because your images always let me think of great old b/w western movies!

Okay, im just gonna be opposite right now, LOL. I really prefer the coloured one, next the "sephia" (this sure looks alot better than a true sephia would) and last the B/W. There are so many beautiful colours in this shot, that would be a shame to not show them off. And i also have to disagree with zahnfee, i think the coloured one shows off the lightplay way better than any of the others. All this is of course only my silly opinion...bla bla bla...you should go with the one you prefer. #:O)

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

Hmmm. Dont like the B&W. Do like the color but its almost to colorful (saturated? I'm still learning the terminology) but it does look like the path I would choose if given that choice on a hike. I really do like the last one because for me, it represents the west. Looks like tumble weeds, sage, worn out wood and high desert. I would expect bandits to meet me around that bend, make off with my horse and leave me walking my ass back to the nearest trading post. Nuff for now. Must sleep.... And Hey, thanks for commenting on my bee. Glad you like him. Good eve to all, Jackie
