Ferns in the woods alongside Derwentwater, Cumbria.

These beautiful woods run along the shore of Derwentwater, at the foot of Cat Bells. I've created 2 versions of the photo - one in colour and one converted to black and white. I also cropped the original image slightly, to arrange composition around the sun-lit ferns.

I can't decide which version I like best - they each have their own merits. I think the main difference is that the colour version draws your eye to the ferns (which were intended to be the main point of interest); the monochrome version seems to lead your eye instead to the gap between the tree trunks in the centre of the picture, making it seem like a leafy tunnel.

Which do you like best?
