I actually favor the mono over the color version.
Thanks Brent, and I agree with you. The "golden light", in the color version, looks a little "artificial"....like it could have been manipulated in processing. However, nothing was done to alter the color. That really is how it looked.I actually favor the mono over the color version.
I agree with Brent and prefer the BW version too. Mostly, because I prefer architecture in BW. Regarding the color version, nice, and I have seen that light before. It is intense and a bit unreal. I caught a river scene and people have a hard time accepting I didn't manipulate the color of the light .

Another B&W conversion. Like the mausoleum above, the color version is also posted in the Color Photographs thread. I like the color version of this photo much better, than that, of the mausoleum above.
I prefer the colour version and having spent a bit of time around cemeteries in the late afternoon light it was very real to me. Both are great photos but.The "golden light", in the color version, looks a little "artificial"....like it could have been manipulated in processing. However, nothing was done to alter the color.
