    The B&W is nice but it doesn't have the dynamics the colored one
    has. The colored one seems to have much more depth and pop. My
    eyes almost squint because of the bright color as if I was there.
    Real nice,

    I like this image - I think I prefer the warmth of the colored version.

    B&w
    Both versions communicate to me.

    The lone bird looking 'over his shoulder' is a powerful statement of nature's fragility (statement to me that is).

    I perceive this in either version.

    Hey ed,

    Both are fine but the colored version stands out and catches your attention.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I like both, but if I had to pick only one, I would choose the color.
    Land on your right foot. Don't forget it!

    Was the color in the original shot or was it added afterwards in Photoshop?

    I, too, like the colored one best. I would try toning the yellow down just a tad.

    And I don't know if I would like that better, I would just try it, it is so bright right now.

    But it is definitely the colored one.

    I really like both for different reasons.. I think the B&W is beautiful, and the colour is stunning! Depends what you want the viewer to see/feel etc??

    They are both nice, but the yellow one has that wow factor.
