I also processed this in b+w. I couldn't make up my mind which one I preferred, so I'm posting both.

Beautiful! Post-card like. Great framing - nice texture of the rock and great drama in the sky! Well done

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

Great composition here with a lot of depth. And the spotting of the people below really gives me a better sense of scale.

lovely layered landscape - nicely composed with good light and sharpness and wonderful colour combination! i agree with above comments too - having people in this shot really gives a great idea of scale...

Having, by now, seen the b&w, I, too, find it difficult to choose. Perhaps I prefer the color just because the colors are so intense and so vitally part of this distinctive landscape.

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks so much, Ronnie. :)

Ron from Saint Louis, United States

I have to agree with Ronnie ... the intensity of the colors really make it pop ... I do think the B&W version would look cool printed large -- it definitely has drama ... ron

@Ron: Thanks, Ron! I've actually been think about printing the b+W version in either a 12x18 or a 16x24 to frame and hang. I'm curious to see how it would look.

Edward James from New Hampshire, United States

Yeah when I first saw this, I was quite impressed with the rugged landscape. I really liked the light that illuminates the mountains in the middle of the photo. And I like the almost sillhouetted mountains in the far background. Then I saw the people which made me appreciate the photo even more.
Great work. Do you know those people in the photo?
I would LOVE to vist there.

@Edward James: I have no idea who those people are. It's a very busy place. There were people all around in the nooks and crannies; some were even climbing those mountains. It didn't look like it was that big of a place at first...then we started walking around. My only regret is that we didn't get there earlier in the day. We spent the afternoon, early evening there, but we could've easily spent the entire day there.
