Spiders, color or b&w?

These spiders are so colorful, it seems a crime to convert some of these pics to b&w, but I wanted to give it a shot even though my b&w experience has been very limited.

First a couple of color examples, before and after...you know the drill.

 

the 4th is my favorite of all of these. nice shots... :thumbup:

 

I prefer the color... With the color you notice more details
