Great photography! For whatit’s worth I prefer the black & white version – it suits the subject and the dramatic sky is enhanced in black & white I feel.

Some very nicely detailed clouds over some really interesting ruins. (Thanks for posting both versions–I love the comparisons).

I too prefer the b/w version. Lends itself to more storytelling quality in this case. Cheers.

Wow, the b&w has such a different atmosphere all together — so forboding.
