    B&W all the way ...adds to the starkness of the leafless trees.

    A subdued colour version might well also.

    I have to agree with MA n this one, B&W is a much better looking photo.

    I like the colour one for the wonderful colour in the sky, but I'm with the other 2 gentlemen; in terms of the overall image, the BW gets the nod from me.

    Thanks everyone! I thought that something wasn't quite right, moodwise, with the colour photo... So 3 votes for B&W!

    Nice shots

    +1 for the B & W. It looks to me that you may have increased the contrast in the sky. I feel you could even increase it further if you wished to make the sky even more dramatic. Just my 2 cents worth
    I welcome all critique and comments on any of my photos
