I find the color version more interesting, although it leaves me wishing you could find an angle where the waterbreak didn't intersect the boat. However, it appears that might be impossible unless you find a much higher camera position. In any case, I like the shot. The color lends a sense of peace and tranquility that's missing in the BW. It would probably be even nicer with the ball going down, although you might need a tripod. Paul
