Default Sepia or colour?

Hi, just wanting to now which shot looks better, in sepia-like or colour. Can't seem to make my mind up and just wanted others opinions. I know it's not exactly the best shot!

Thumbs up Nice Doggie

Definitely SEPHIA. It gives the photo a bit more richness to it. & it stands out more.

I really have a hard time deciding myself, but I might lean more towards the Sepia. I like the green on the tree trunk in the color version, but I think since overall the background lacks color, the Sepia adds a nice touch.

I really like both of them, and each has its own merits, but I really like the sepia-toned photo better.

Sepia it is then, must admit I was leaning towards that way myself. Thanks for the replies.

Don't know if it matters to ya... Even though the dog is probably coiled up and ready to take off, my immediate thought when I saw it was that it looked like it was poopin. A more restrictive crop would eliminate that and still maintain interest.

Just my .02

Cheers Steve, I can see where you're coming from there. Didn't notice it myself until you pointed it out and now can't look at the shot without thinking of it!
