I think both have merit! What's interesting about the BW version is that it allows the eye to flow over the symmetry of the hills without the hard color demarcation caused by the sunset to distract it. To my eye it's more abstract.

And yes, you all want to go there. I did a Muench workshop this past summer. Wonderful and enchanted farmland. Now I have to Google up Abruzzo.

Thanks Eric, I agree that it is an almost abstract shot, actually it is a section of a much larger picture...
I will give it a try, but I really like the contrast of colors... Thanks!

Thanks for the idea Kdog, You are right the pic is less distracting but as Thelensspot says, I love the color contrast. Just different points of view.
