Just for once, I prefer the colour version - the colour makes it more evocative plus I think it enhances tonal variations that I feel are a little too subtle to emphasise structure or texture in b&w. There's more depth and definition here too, imo.
@dulciknit - Yes. You are right. That is why I put this one up several days later after thinking about it. Glad you feel the same way. Shows you how the power-of-authorship can overcome good editing sense.
