Lovely pink and white rose 1

I shot this rose in colour then made a b/w but I think the colour is

probably better. I posted the b/w and people didn't seem to like it

that much.

Any comments,..., please? Is it better in colour or b/w?

 

Here is the b/w version

please resize the black and white it's blocking the other categories of critique thank you

Both have beauty but to me it's in the center. Crop off the outer third of the frame above below and beside the center of the rose. Keep the interior and there's the interest in the photo, black and white or in color.

Thanks for the input Art, I'll give that a try and put that up. William, It looks fine on my screen. What resolutiona re you using? I'm at 1280x1024.

Again thank you Art. One so rarely gets such nice constructive advice on here these days.

I was referring to when in thumbnail view and the black and white Image was in the text field was very large and covered up the category work table, once you click on the Image and you were in the personal view it was fine, with that out of the way, I think that both the Images were executed well, the cropping is a personal thing, I favor the black and white because I'm a little color blind and shades and tones are easier to distinguish for me then colors, well done, thank you for sharing.
