Default M&M's anyone!!!!!!!

IMG_1233

I was messing around at my buddy's wedding and came up with these shots of the wedding favors and the flowers. I'm trying to figure out what works better B&W or color. Also, did I go a little over board with the processing. Thanks for all of the help.

Canon XSi
F 5.6
Shutter 1/160
ISO 400
No Flash

I prfer the color as well. Like "photo" said, the first one may be better in color (provided the original wasn't "blown" in color.

Well done!

Colour M&Ms are meant to be in colour I don't think the processing is overdone, I just don't think that the B&W shot has the impact of the colour one in this case.

Default black & white
I have to differ. I like the composition of the black & white one better.
