Wow. I think I like the color version. I like the blue/green transparency of the wings. The B&W looses that effect, but looks great otherwise. Hmm. Maybe convert the photo to B&W but leave the bird in color? Might work. The B&W one looks like a piece of art. Maybe a metal cutout or something like that. You might find it hanging on a wall somewhere. My 2 cents.
