I'm not sure on either one. The b&w is kind of muddy and the focus gets lost. But I'm not crazy about the color one either. I looked extra close at that one because at first look it seemed to be selective color. Looking closer, it isn't, but the green plants and blue sky seem over saturated and dominate the shot, which isn't the case in the b&w.
Those are my thoughts - not sure it really answered your question.
