From an artistic perspective, I think that I prefer the B/W; however, this version offers some pretty colors. Thanks for posting both for comparison, Sandi.

Sandi, comparing this colored version with the B&W one, is to me like comparing apples and pears, they have their own charm. I'm a 'customer' that enjoy both, lol.

I do like this version the colours in the leafs that art turning and the brown tones in the tree.Plus love the sunlight and textures in the tree is stunning along with the composition too.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
