Colour or Black & White flowers?

[Lindsie Nicole]

Hello!!

I have this picture and I can't decide if I like it in Black and White or Colour. I think I'm leaning toward Black & White but I was wondering if I could get some opinions on it?
Also I don't know if the picture is just generally to busy... to many flowers? What do you think?
Thanks!

Hey Lindsie,
I think the color helps separate the flowers a bit better, they are pretty but a bit too busy.

I think it looks better in color, it's nice subtle yellow.
But as you stated , it is busy, too busy I must say....blown out flower in foreground, wooden fence, all those small flowers...I just can't see a beauty in the flowers because there are so many of them cluttered with branches and all...
Just my opinion.....
