I think both of these are very nice and I find it hard to choose a
favourite, not that that is an issue.
I like the compositions and the light.
They may lose what the quality of the light brings if converted but
might be an interesting exercise.
Although I would guess that you might have had a look at the mono
and decided that the colour was best. :)
I have a version of B & W.
I think the color came out here the better.
I was including place over 10 times, only now I managed to get a spectacular light :)
