Default Green door or B&W

Just took these shots over the weekend and I'm having a tough time deciding between the the two. I usually prefer B&W but I kinda dig the green door. Thoughts?

If leaving in the reflection I think the colors make more sense. If blacking out the reflection it could be fun with either but like you I prefer the colors on this one. It provides a much better (and stark) contrast.

What about desaturating the wall to B&W and leaving the door and reflection?

I think the colour image is the best because of the green and red complementary colours providing interest. like plangereis said i think leaving the bricks B&W and door green would also look great
