For my tastes, the first, Sergey, although both are appealing. I like the subtle colours, and colours are a major motivator in my wanting to make an image, so B&W is not my usual first choice, although I understand others doing so.
Hi Sergey. Wow what a good pair of photos. It is interesting how much the photo changes with the length of shutter. I normally like B&W but in the instance the colour photo is better - it has better detail/interest in the water, the wider angle composition is better, the colours are brilliant (even though there is rain on the lens). Try adding some heavy grain as an experiment.
They are both great..! Different appeal and I understand why you ask. :) I would be in doubt too. As the two gentlemen write, the image in color have different details, but on the other hand I'm a sucker for B&W and you captured an "old-school" vibe.
HI Sergey, for my taste, I would have actually combined elements from the two. Long exposure like the first one, but B&W. That way the sea and sky maybe would have blended together, giving it a cool mysterious look.
