From yesterday's chill to today's warmth - all with the use of colour. The low angle of the rays and the intensity of the shadow work with the colours in the original setting.
See this is what I mean about photography being subjective. Technically this is a superb image, yet I am drawn to yesterdays, purley by the colour. My head tells me this is the one. My heart tells me the blue toned one. It is a fantastic shot. The low angle, the intense shadow, the busrt of rich colouring it's all there in spades.Show me both images in b&w, this one is the winner. Add blue to one and orange to another and I take the blue.Even photographers are fallable to a heart shot.
Take the colour out of this and out of yesterday's image and I think they are both diminished. Actually, yesterday's would be bland without the colour. Sorry, Snapper, that is not meant to come out sounding like a criticism.
IMHO, the only image thus far that just might work in monotone is the first one of the leaf on the bench. Four down; three to go.
Lovely, and the color makes it for me. I rarely think black & white is a superior option now that I use a digital camera. It's just another special effect that can be chosen. In high school and college, I shot in B&W because it was easy to process at the school labs myself. But I took different pictures within that framework, and now I like including the color in how I approach a subject.
Julie, I completely agree. Both images would be considerably diminished in monochrome. I am finding my way which is the point of this little exercise. Thanks to all who have offered opinions thus far!

I needed a call to meditation this morning.
wonderful photo..I love the warm colors
Oh I do like this one. The warm sunlight colours and the shadow are perfect in this photo. Excellent capture.
The shadow, the color, the angle. Perfect. I am a big fan of warm color in photos. This is just lovely Snapper.

It is precious time to sit and relax. Just only sit. And only relax.
