I'm going with real. Some very nice colors in the original. Really helps it. Making it b&w doesn't add anything for me, if anything it detracts.

I like the colors in the 1st one, I think it enchances the mood of the photo.

The sun looks like as if you just used photoshop and erased the spot... so it looks a bit artifical to me.

 

[AIRIC]

I like the B/W, more edgy 8)

The first one stands out.

 

[aggiezach]

Yup, I like the first one as well...

Thank you all
I just needed to know why you like them...
Or How you evalutate the manipulated!

Anyway...it seems Real one won!
And AIRIC liked the edgy b&w

I'm with the others. I prefer the color one. It presents a mood and a tone that black and white seems to miss. If anything takes away from the picture at all I would think it would be the tree tops in the bottom right hand corner.

Nice pictures though. Makes me want to run out to the park and lay under a tree and relax.
