Black and White... or Color?

[jbdavies]

I need/want everyone's professional opinion on this. ;) I can't decide if I like B&W, or Color better on this one?

Thoughts? Or do you not like it at all? Haha. I wanted a kind of moody feel to it...

jb, I'm getting a 'Content Protected by Owner' for both images (same thing when I click on them)? Is that something wrong on my end?

Oops!! Haha. My bad. Is it still that way?

I think I like the color version. A little too much black for me on the B&W. The B&W is too moody for me meaning too dark. This from a guy (me) who is looking at two B&W's on my wall in my office. The color one is great!!

i think either could work well, but they both seem kinda "crunchy" to me. in other words, the blacks are too deep, not enough detail to keep the eye interested.

I agree I think.
I would say maybe they are both over corrected.

Better? Worse? Neither?

Thanks for the opinions. :)
