In this case I prefer the color-version….
It’s more realistic and Impressive!
Agree with Anna – I find the colored version very impressive… 🙂
both are great, but I prefer color (I like the tones in the background and the naturality of it). It looks like a piece of jewelry!
Yes, it does. Thank you!
I want to wear this web around my neck! What a stunning piece of design and capture 🙂
The design is fantastic and it’s a strong structure, but still I’m afraid that it would’ve been a fragile necklace!
A great piece of inspiration for a jewellery designer to take care of the fragility! I just love it, never seen such a sparkling liquid web!
Both are great, but the colour version has more depth somehow.
For this one, black-and-white. The focus on the web is more pronounced without the “distraction” of color behind…
Thanks for the first B&W vote Kana.
I prefer the black & white. And about the August Blues… I know the feeling.
Yes, the summer is so far away now…
Wow CG…tough choice. Both have their own terrific attributes, but I have to go with the color version. I like how the green bokeh contrasts against the water droplets.
Thanks for stopping by d3. You have some cool San Francisco photos in your blog. S.F.is a place that I really want to visit and have wanted to for a long time. I’ll keep an eye on your blog.
Thanks CG. Let me know when you decide to come and I can show you a few spots. Cheers!
I will!
I have never seen such an exquisite spider web. Looks like an expensive necklace. Wonderful job capturing it, Max!
Thanks Paula. You’re right: it looks like an expensive necklace (and I guess the owner treated it like one too).
I like them both, the colour one a bit more 🙂
Thanks Paula. Here you can see where I found the cobweb:
(sooc – straight out of camera)
I love the color one. It looks like a necklace for a queen.
A queen that’s about to be eaten by a spider!
I love both, but may be the color one is a Little bit more like a jewel…. Anyway, it is a great shot!!!!
Looks like a necklace laden with jewels. Nice one CG.
Hmmm, they are both gorgeous, but I think the color one would go up on my wall.
Thanks, that’s a great compliment!

I like them both, but if I had to make a choice, it would be the black & white, because it gives this old era type feel to it. Amazing photo.
Typically, I prefer and lean toward b&w but it truly depends on the individual image, of course. I sometimes find color can distract the eye from the subject but, other times, as in this case, the color adds to the subject and makes it pop…frames it, in a way. So, this time… color! Beautiful.
They are lovely!!!
I like them both but I think the color offers more contrast and sets off the web because of the color in the background. It is an amazing photo. Like jewels hanging
Beautiful! I personally prefer the color one for this. It looks like a lovely jeweled necklace! 🙂
Great photos! Like most of the comments above – I prefer the color version – the colors adds a nice dimension to the image.
Wow! I’ve walked into so many webs this week it’s a surprise that I can still look at one but this image is truly gorgeous! Black and white for me. 🙂
Neat!!! B/W
Wow! Both gorgeous…I love the color…but then I love Jamaica mostly for the wild color of all things there. Beautiful post.
Beautiful.
Lovely, Cardinal. Simple and complex at once!
It’s absolutely exquisite, CG. I love both, but the colour marginally wins out over the B&W.
Very intense and yet relaxing shots…
Beautiful photos, I love the black and white one! 🙂
Tough one.,. But my original instinct is the B/W version and i’m sticking with it 🙂
I like the color better which surprises me. The water/dew drops seem to sparkle more in the color image. The web looks like a very expensive piece of jewelry 🙂
Tamara
Thank you Tamara. It seems like the majority of the people prefer the colored version. Good thing I decided to post them both.
Fantastic images!! I could abide forever in the black and white version, though I thoroughly love both…what feeling…so bejeweled and majestic, so lucid, beautiful, perfectly composed. What an image. Well-done indeed!
Your comment sure made me smile. Thanks a lot!
The B/W by a nose. The colours aren’t too distracting but still distracting just enough to make the contrast in the B/W version draw more attention to the jewel-like web.
It’s even more impressive when I click it and look at the enlarged version.
It does resemble mine. 🙂 So obviously great!

I remember this– just gorgeous!! I love the black and white version~
