It was raining yesterday when I took this picture.
I prefer the BW version. My kids like the color one better. Which one do you like? Thanks for looking.

i think that the saturation in the color picture is low enough that it almost looks B&W! therefore, the color adds nothing to the picture.

the B&W version definitely looks better to me, but it has that 'color picture changed to black and white in photoshop' feel. i would play around with the contrast a bit and see what looks nice.

Out of the 2 as it stands I prefer the colour one, that said I agree that with a bit of tweaking the b&w shot could look very good indeed.

Thank You anthonybeard & Darth Marty - I'll play around with the contrast a bit more.

I like the splash of color in the first one. The subtle blue tones definitely say winter.

I like the color one better, mainly because the BW needs more contrast IMO.

Audra, The color is way nice. I like the very soft feel of it. The b/w is to bla for me.
Nice photos.
