I'm with Ken. I like the color version better and I too often find that converting to B&W does little for the picture, IMO.
My other thought is that a skinnier panorama would be more desirable and the clumpy foreground grass in the lowest part of the picture does not add anything. The peacefulness of the scene is pleasant.
