I like the B&W better!

I like the b&w more. Wow that lion looks pretty proud

You need some blacks in there. I agree with Pete. it's a little flat, nothing that a little contrast adjusting wouldn't hurt. And I do prefer the B&W to color anyway.

This is what we say "kif kif". The content of the picture is neutral, no particular colours that could make the shot better in coulour. Both are the same and no particular detail catches your eye, not in colour and not in B&W, Mark. Some of this why and how are explained in my techniques gallery here as well :http://www.pbase.com/lou_giroud/techniques

It is 50-50... either way demonstrates what you were doing. And I'm no lion to you.
