@siewpeng: original version has the timber look, but the black white one gives a better feel. i'm starting to like the black white.

I think...black and white printed on high gloss
I like the coloured version more if it were richer on the browns

@Wayne: b&w on high gloss, good idea!! yeah, i like the brown.. too bad the brown colour wasn't that outstanding...

Tricia from Melbourne, Australia

hmm i think b&w gives it more of a vintage feel. like the b&w one better!

I would go for he black and white. Color only distracts in this case.

The B/W one is much better. It brings the subject (the nut and bolt) out from the picture which is not seen in the colour version.
