I find both to be very strong images, but I'm particularly partial to the subtle colors in the second version. If I'd seen only the B&W, I'd never have guessed that these were the missing colors, and for me their unexpectedness adds another layer of interest to the photo.

Thank you Leslie, that's very valuable feedback, and one of the reasons I like having someone else take a look!

Oh boy, a lighthouse thread! Yaquina Head, Newport, OR

...or color

Hope I'm not too late to the party. I couldn't decide if I liked this one better in B&W...
