Which photo is better?

Submitting my best 5 photos to a contest and I don't want to submit the same shot, so which do you think is better? The B&W or color? Personally, I prefer the color, but I want to hear some other peoples' opinions. Also would love criticism from professional photographers (if any available) or anyone for that matter.

    I love the color one, but am wondering if perhaps you should drop the saturation in some areas so that the parts you really want to stand out do so.

    It's a very interesting concept

    the b&w picture is lacking contrast and it just looks plain shallow

    what makes b&w photos look great is something to focus on- Something that your photo doesn't include. Where as your colour photo focuses on the photo as a whole and not just on one point. The lighting is near perfect but could of been better- it's too dark in the bottom areas but other than that it's a well created image.

    The composition is perfect and overall it's a good photo.

    Crop the colour one so that the lower part of the image is gone, basically anything under the lowest reflection. That'll make the composition stronger. Other than that, it's a nice picture. I'm not a pro, it's just my two cents.

    I would go with the first one (colour).

    If I were you, I would try playing with some colour enhancement in certain areas while neutralizing others. (aka castle stands out while everything else is a BIT diluted)

    Sorry to say (maybe ts just me) but the slant of it is really irritating me.

    The color. The B&W is flat lacks contrast. Muddy.

  • I like the color one. It has more depth.

    I prefer the black and white. But I really don't like the angles from both of them. Other than that, they're nice.
