    Yowza! That first one has some zing to it. I like it! thumb.gif

    The B&W is pretty good as well, but I think the color one wins for me.

    The color one for me as well, Eia. The light and comp are amazing! thumb.gifclap.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    I like them both, but the color one really makes me wonder if a banjo will start playing :D

    Both are great, but I prefer the color version because the greens are wonderful.

    I can choose neither. They are both great. Me a fan of BW and of the way you've made the forest in the color photograph, eerie and mysterioius. Great work.

    While the different shades of green are very eye catching in #1, I prefer #2 because of the full range of gray tones that are present - the light, the dark - they give a great feeling of depth to the shot, I think.

    Both are great though. clap.gif

    The color one is just great!! The B&W one is also good, but I do prefer the color.

    Thanks for the vote on 1. French horns and stringed instruments are beautiful. :D 'Dueling Banjos' alone in the woods is intimidating! :D
