The first shot was an obvious black and white photo from the beginning. The color version had just a blue hint, no color contrast, but the second shot, despite not being a "colorful" shot, it became something else in black and white. The green in the thorn is not bold, but if you remove it, you realize it's an important part of the photo.
Which one do you like more?
