I am at it again, converting an image to black and white. This time I posted three images and would like to know which you prefer.
I am leaning towards version one. The back and white is at a very closed second.
Original – No Edit
Version – 1
Version – 2
Thanks for visiting!

Reflections for my Soul 
Hello, I like version 1 and 2 but I think version 1 actually shows more depth and detail than the black & white. Depends on what you are looking for.

I will say the first 1 for it grabbed my attention right away, the colors add to its beauty and make it more radiant.

Version 1 – the colour is important in this case as it creates more of a rich mood.

I like both. Very different

First one. Well “centered” but not too much. The B&W does not do justice to the red of the flower. 🙂

I like like version 1 as it shows more of the texture in the flower and the shading of the darker color.

I much prefer the colour version Robin, even though I would normally go for the monochrome version in many photos. The colours work so well together 🙂

I do agree the color works much better in selection.
