hmmm - not sure what you're telling us with these Paul.....?
For interesting rock formations, you need to work in different light - the sun was too high in the sky for the shadows to assist the scene and consequently your choice of framing was probably wrong - was the rock the interesting point, or would a landscape frame have been better to show us more water and reflection?
I'm afraid the B&W therefore doesn't work as there is little to capture the imagination and the colour version seems over saturated. Sorry - thats a very negative C&C reply but i hope some of it helps
