Which One? Color or Which B&W?

This is an exercise for me trying to learn relative advantages/disadvantages of color vs. b&w and also learning to see subtle differences in various b&w conversions. I would greatly appreciate your opinions.

1. UFRaw raw conversion + Digikam refocus sharpening and cropping


2. GIMP desaturate lightness b&w conversion


3. GIMP desaturate luminosity b&w conversion


4. Digikam Ilford 100 + yellow filter b&w conversion


C&C always appreciated. Thanks!

I'm a bit puzzled why I've not received any opinions on this photo. Good, bad, indifferent? Anybody?

Thanks for the comment seymop. I like the b&w best too. I think I've settled on the tones in the the last b&w (#4).

I would stick with the colour version. IMHO, flowers are almost always better rendered in colour - given that is what so often sets one apart from another on the surface level.
