which is better of these 2, the b&w or color?

[iPhoto17]

personally i like the color one a bit even though ive always been partial to using black and white since thats what i first studied when i started photography

I also like the colour one. The black and white one does not have enough tonal range to make the conversion work - my opinion.

Color. Too cluttered for BW and hard to figure out.
