I love the action inherent in this shot. Makes me think that spring is just around the corner. Paty

I think I like the color version best, but I'm trying to be more of an Artiiiist like you Rod and the B&W looks better if I think real hard.

I really like both versions but I think I'm leaning more toward the colored one as the kites show up so well under that nice blue sky with those white puffy clouds. The colored one almost reminds me of birds too. Those must be some kites to handle - does it take two hands? Oh, and it's "color" Rod. LOL! CJ

Thanks for posting the color version :)
I like both but for the shape study the b/w wins.

Actually, b/w is better here. Great shapes.

You were right the first time, Rod, the b&w really is the better version. Good work! ~Sharon

The one thing I like about the b&w is the way you can see the ties to the kites that you really can't pick up that well in the color version, Rod. I like both versions, however, as the color is really bright and enticing. Very great capture and nicely exposed. :) jano

For all you people that are not ahhrtiiiiiiists like wot I is, here's the non artiiiiiiiistic colour version:-)

Very nice, Rod! It took me a moment to figure out what I was looking at, they are such odd shapes in the sky. Nice conversion here (how does it look in color?)! ~Sharon

Cool shot Rod! I like the contrast and tone here. The composition is spot on. Wouldn't change a thing here. Since Mary Anne mentioned it, how does it look in color? ;)

Wow, great contrast and sharpness in this one, Rod. How does it look in color?
