Black and white, or color?

Does this picture look better in black and white, or in color? I'm planning to enter it into a photography contest, but I want to know which section it would be best in.

Color:

Black and White:

I personally like it better in black and white, because I think it brings out the differences in texture and value (or light) more, which I feel are more important than the color. I may have just answered my own question, but please chime in with your own thoughts.

Thanks!

    Black and white is better but you'll need to adjust it some more. You need to alter the black and white point in PS. It needs more contrast to make it pop.

    Also, I would go and re-shoot it using a neutral density filter to increase the exposure time. It would look much better with a silky waterfall.
