I'm thinking I like the color? No clouds and a boring sky but the sun sort of kissed all else with some nice color.

    Hi Anna, with you on leaning towards color. Some details and distinctive layers are getting lost in black & white and the middle bright layer that splits the frame seems strong in black and white but mellower in color. Unlike the last one, color one should win here! Cheers!

    I prefer the color as well. I think the band of color between the blue of the sky and the reflection is much more powerful (and interesting) than the black & white version.

    I like the B&W AnnaMaria... for me, the color version is so limited
    in tonal range that the B&W steps forward with an emphasis on
    texture, shape, and contrast. I like the cloning work in the B&W also.

    I felt the debris was a little more distractive in the b/w vs. the color. Thanks for input!

    What time of the day were these taken? I am guessing that at first light or last light, the hills will glow gold!

    Late afternoon. There is a steep mountain behind me that blocks sun going down earlier than surrounding area so it looks a bit later than it really was. the light changes very quickly.

    I prefer the color version. If it were mine I would increase the saturation and blacks a bit. Nice shot!
