In black and white you just have to imagine the purple haze. In color there is a bit more drama.

I don't need color for a purple haze Eric. This is gorgeous!

Very nice B&W rendition, Eric
Socrate

P. S. I see you added the color version. Now I'm a bit confused But I believe I like the color version better with its warm tones But then I've never been a B&W fan.

I have come late enough to see both versions and I have to say once again I give a rare for me vote for the B&W version. I think the background colours are just so saturated that they take away from the subject a little bit in the colour version. Either way though a very nice shot.

And I always thought it was "excuse me while I touch this guy!". That may be the story of the Rangers this year!!!

Lovely colour; no B&W for me.

Eric, most shots don't work well with a B&W conversion.
This one does great shot my friend and the color version is sweet also.

ID please

Though patterns in B&W always seem to help an image I am a fan of your color rendition here Eric. Looks like you were laying on your back when you took this

Really nice, Eric.
Of all the African mammals, I find that the giraffes are, by far, the most difficult to photograph.
You done good!

I think Jimi was actually kissing the sky. Another vote for the color version. TFS

Thanks to everyone who commented and it's obvious that we all have our particular bent when it comes to wildlife photography and color vs. black and white. And yes, Herb, Jimmie did kiss the sky and as a charter member of the 27 Club kissed it much too early...mine took a wee bit of poetic license.
