This is the colored version of yesterday's shot. I wanted both of them in my project... sorry for the repetition. I would be interested to know which version folks prefer, this color one, or the black & white from yesterday.
If you are so inclined, this might be better on black, time permitting. I don't usually suggest this.
Anyway, thanks for taking time to visit and for all the kind comments about yesterday's shot. I appreciate all of them, very much.

I prefer the black and white, though they are both lovely. I find the colour just a little distracting from the simplicity and lines of the composition.
I love them both, difficult to pick one over the other. The colour version does look softer though and that makes it much more of a flowing photo. Didn't think I would ever say that because I am a big fan of b&w
Had I not seen the mono version, this would have been a favourite, but the mono version without the distraction of colour allows the view more opportunity to appreciate the light and form without distraction.
