Yup. As a photograph, on every scale I can think of, it works better in B&W. Except I wouldn't look at it twice that way. It's nice, but it doesn't really grab me. In color, I can't find anything that wouldn't be improved by converting it, except that somehow the whole is NOT the sum of the parts here, and I like the shot. I think you need that really vibrant green in the grass to make the shot work, even though it's not really pertinent on any specific level. Nice conundrum. -- R.
