Color for me, it adds depth for my eyes.Finally getting to spend a little time on my images from my trip to Death Valley and Oregon Coast earlier this year. This was a pano from someplace out in the desert, not really sure if it has a name. I am trying to decide on Color or BW for an image for my office, would love any guidance. This will be about 6' long maybe a canvas, I am not sure?

Whenever you have difficulty deciding, the answer is black and white.Finally getting to spend a little time on my images from my trip to Death Valley and Oregon Coast earlier this year.

Thank you for the specifics!I think I'm the opposite here. I'd prefer the B&W - but only if the contrast was raised to show some true blacks and pure whites. The abstract shapes stand alone for making a good large image. I'd personally make it very abstract looking where the viewer would have to examine the image for a few minutes to realize that there's a road going through it. The lack of contrast makes it very flat and lacking. However, I feel the color version is very blasé, almost like everybody's shots of Alabama Hills.
Apologies, I just re-read what I wrote and I didn't mean to sound short. I used to judge quite a few competitions and the habit of "short and sweet" got engrained in my explanations...Thank you for the specifics!
You did not sound short in the least, I appreciate the feedback! I love what you did with the image! I struggle to some degree with all aspects of photography, but especially black and white conversions. Thanks for taking the time!Apologies, I just re-read what I wrote and I didn't mean to sound short.

I hope you don't mind, I did a rough, quick crop & edit to better illustrate my thoughts ("a picture is worth 1000 words"):

I agree color does not have a ‘u’ in it, but colour does!(Ahem. And ‘color’ does not have a ‘u’ in it. )
You say either and I say either(Ahem. And ‘color’ does not have a ‘u’ in it. )
I use 2.0. Good luck!Does anyone know what the maximum upload size for images is? I tried to directly upload an image at ~2.5 meg and 2048 pixels wide, but it was too large.
