Tough one. I like the colors of reality, but the BW photo really catches the eye.

It's so beautiful and the tender pink makes the colour version very special, and yet the B&W, with it's simplicity and beautiful forms struck me more, and yet....LOL

I prefer the colour shot to the b&w but they are both good and they would both look fab on a wall in a different room :-)

Lovely macro...will check out the b&w momentarily but with flowers I always lean towards colours...

wow so great photo, so neat and great colors. I love to see those tones of green and pink.. I really prefer the colored version, the b/w loses a lot because the colors are marvellous and in real harmony. Green and pink are very good friends!

Lovely close up of these flowers in colour and in black and white. It is very hard to choose - I have had a leaning this last year to black and white for decoration on my walls - because so many of my old color framed photos just don't seem to blend well with the exisiting colour scheme now. But, I love the colored one too - so I would say for print - use the b&w and for the web use the color. ;-)
