Both versions have something - but they are very different, and create also very different feedback.
The colour version is to some degree a known perspective, and often used (misused ?) in some pseudo esoteric - be positive settings, it still has its fascination.
The lens-blurred flow of green is catching, the different layers of various intensity in the green creates an attraction in the image, makes the image interesting without a concrete offer. While even in the foreground not one individual grain gets, build or catches the attention, it is a build-up, a door into this ocean of green.
This one I like most because of its graphical qualities.
The S/H image has a different focus - a clear concentration on the single grain, on the lines and repeating shapes - incl. some interesting light-reflections.
I think I actually prefer the colour-version - since more completed, while in the originally more attractive S/H version I miss some brilliance in sharpness to get really started.
But I like the effect of both versions - actually inspiration both of them - as result and idea.

Thanks Georg! I really appreciate the feedback!
