A different edit of my get pushed challenge. Which do you prefer?

This one Jane but then I always prefer the colour shot! Good bokeh!

[Judith Greenwood]

I think I like this one best as well. It brings out all the oiliness. Glad you're feeling better - flu is hideous.

[Sebella O'Donovan]

I prefere the colour.

[Alison Tomlin]

Hmm not sure - they're quite different. Like the strong contrast in colours in this one.

[Kerri]

Great catch

[Caroline]

I think I prefer the other for it's dreaminess. I like the colours here.

[Sue Wilde]

I'm not sure

[Cathy]

The light and focus are wonderful... I like them both, so I guess I am no help at all!

[Paul Myers]

There's more color contrast and contrast in general in this shot. The B&W one is a little flat for my tastes.

[Jane Pittenger]

@webfoot Wondering what you would have done differently with the b and w so it wouldn't have been flat?

[Paul Myers]

Well, in PS, you could bump the contrast up a little, but you have similar tones between the hardware and the background, so it's tough to do with this particular image. Some images lend themselves better to B&W than others do. This might just be a tough image to convert like that.

[Jane Pittenger]

@webfoot thanks much

[Shirley Banford]

Ooh, I like this one! The detail shows up better in color.

[Lauren]

I like this one. The colors are fantastic
