cacti - colour or black and white?

[captain-spanky]

Taken on holiday in Cala D'Or, Mallorca from my balcony looking down into the gardens.
i can't decide...
I love the contrast and the lines of the whole thing and the colour one looks excellent close up and large... but cant decide between them... I'll probably end up using both...

What are your thoughts? Please be honest...

I like the black and white quite a bit. Adding more contrast might be cool too. Who knows, I'm a newb. nice shot!

Cacti are much associated by their color, so I say.. color!

I like the black and white, but the colour may be better.

Nice pic btw...

I think the black and white one makes you think. Therefore I say B&W.

Yeah Im with the above poster, I like it in black and white.

Another vote for B&W

There is plenty of texture so black and white works great.

B&W yo. And I agree with one of the posters above a slite boost in contrast might do this photo some good! But its a great shot yo! Thanks for sharing

Basically, whatever you choose will be fine.

I was very impressed with the color picture, but not so much with b&w. The green seems to add a softness to the jagged edges of the cacti that the b/w one doesn't have.

I like how the B&W really gives it that 3 dimensional look, almost like an electron microscope.

Mmmmmm - definately the black & white version. I love the contrast.
