Which version?

Normally I can distinct my choice between a b/w and colour. This one is tough for me.

I like the color, and try cropping the sky out.

+2, and a little bit of the water, also.

Personally, a little more contrast on #2 may make this an easier decision. Otherwise, I'm torn between the two. Excellent image either way

A little contrast was added.

David, I prefer the color version even after the contrast boost to the B&W. I think the red pot with the green seaweed is more interesting than the B&W version.

Thanks Lauren for your input.

I think this one b/w pic where no matter what tone and contrast you throw it in, it doesn't give much impact, kind of diminishing return. The sea weed will not look like weed anymore etc etc.

I'm a sucker for b/w and I think I have reached the point of giving the best treatment (with some other variations which I'm equally not happy) it can get for the b/w version. For this I'll go for the color.
