Can i have your vote on which you prefer. Want to do a 600mm sq canvas print for mother in law but cant make up mind.It willprobably hang on a beige wall. It is a surprise so can not ask her and father in law aint got a clue. Wifey says the colour one but i say the B&W

Yep, the colour one looks nicer. I would have gone for the black and white but the colour one blends so well within itself.

Yep colour

The white flower in the B&W doesn't seem to be really white in contrast to the black, if it were a starker white it would be better to my eyes.

There's more visual stimulation in the colour one I find

Definately colour.
All because of the drops of water. In the colour image they stand out more and give the image a massive amount of depth. I feel in the B&W one loses that somewhat.

Colour, but get it printed professionally. That type of delicate shading needs care.

I guess the only way i am going to find out how this company deal with the colour is to put them to the test. If they are decent then they will get more business from me :)

Black and white is good, then you scroll down and see the colour much better imo.

Colour - the contrast is not sharp enough in the B&W and therefore the depth drops. the colour really stands out at you.
