Usually I’m all for colour, but I’m kind of digging the black and white one a bit more
-
This one has been so close! If my vote counts, then the b&w is behind by just one. ONE! Usually, color is a lot further ahead. 😁

-
In this instance the gold.
-
Whoa, it is a battle to the end! Color and black & white are tied, I think. 😊
-
-
Think I like the warmth of the color.
-
Ah, yes! The color positively has more warmth to it. 😊
-
-
Both have merit, but I love this exquisite piece of art in full color. 🙂
-
I can see why. Maybe art is best left untouched. 🤔
-
Art is always open to interpretation, as they say, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” 🙂
-
So true about any art form.

Black and white

It is my choice too. Thanks for your comment. 😊

What I fine work(Arbeit)! A wonderful art-work(Kunstwerk)!
-
Absolutely, the detail is magnificent. 😊
-
Yes, the detail and all details together. It looks like a paradise-bird (Paradies-Vogel) or a “Pfau”(german).
-
You are absolutely right. It is a Pfau. Great eyes you have. Is a Paradies vogel also a flower? There is a beautiful flower called Bird of Paradise that I love. 😊
-
Dies ist ein Vogel🦜And such beautiful birds live in the Dschungel, in warm countries.
-
There is a butterfly, too, which is called “Pfauenauge”.
🦃🦚Here You see a “Puter”(Truthahn) and a “Pfau”.
🦋The butterfly has great eyes painted on the wings, and so has the “Pfau” wonderful eyes painted on his wife (Schwanzfedern).👁️
Perhaps I know the flowers called paradise-flower?-
I’ve never heard of a Paradise Butterfly. I will look for them the next time I visit a Butterfly House. Hopefully I can get a picture of one. I think I have a photo of a Bird of Paradise flower. I will look. 😊
-
Oh No, that was my mistake. I meant “das Pfauenauge”.
-
No problem. 😉

This time I would prefer color, but black and white ist beautiful, too.

Danke! (Is that right for thank you?) Have a wonderful day, Gisela. 😊

“Danke” ist right for “thank you”☺️

I love the first one.
-
The doors have captured a whole lot of attention in the original golden color over the years. THanks for you input. 😊

-
Black & white again
-
I am leaning toward the b&w this time too. 😊

Thoughtful words accomplish much.
