The Organic Principles
Love is the virtue of the heart;
Sincerity the virtue of the mind;
Decision the virtue of the will;
Courage the virtue of the spirit.

I would normally say that I think this shot really lends itself to B&W, but, the colur one is the one I prefer now that I see them side by side. A great shot regardless!
Hi Rinda! I prefer the color picture, it sure is a beautiful photo!
Like Amy - I expected to like the b&w better - but the colour shot is amazing!
The colour shot has a sepia appearance and therefore more enchanting, it draws you into its depths entices you to want to enter. The b&w seems to have lost the detail and is more an overall grey.
For me the b&w one is stark and a little eerie; the colour one is warm and inviting - so I guess which I prefer depends on what it's being used for.
For me, it's a toss-up! I like both of them for different reasons, but the previous comments sum up the emotions the two photographs evoke, so I think you'd choose based on what you wanted to communicate.
I'm liking the soft colouring of the top one most ...
I like them both....though the b + w definately has a spooky feel to it.
the black and white shot looks like something from a fairy tale. and that's where enchanted forests are, aren't they? :-)
Both are fabulous, but I prefer the first one. It carries more magic for me, something mysterious.
The top one! It is magical. no doubt about it
I prefer the colour shot - the b+w one would be good for halloween though, it looks scary! x
wow amazing and I definately love the first one very mystical love it x
the B&W one looks almost sepia ... the bottom one reminds me of snow or something .. i dont think i prefer either one, both are amazing!

I like the color, it has a sepia tone to it. It is a great shot.
