In the color shot, the blue of the sky, the orange in the trees and the green in the grass, is perfectly amazing and I feel the house stands out better in the color shot. The B&W on the other hand has so much contrast and the clouds in the sky show a lot better, they look painted in. I would pick at them if they were a larger image. 51/49 BW Wow, that’s a tough one…. normally I would pick the B&W hands down, however, I am completely torn.

Changing them IMHO leaves the B & W flat looking. So my answer to this question is I like the color shot better.

While I strongly agree with the above postings that rural decay lends itself beautifully to B/W, I really love the colors in the color shot. The rust color in the trees is repeated in the corners of the house and it gives the whole shot such a warm feeling; which is contrary to the shot, which gives it a lot of interest.
