I haven't yet sat down and did a careful edit of all my camera cards from this trip! So I started going back over each card and looking for some interesting photographs. I found this one, when we were driving into Big Bend National Park and I like it a lot. It is subtle but I like the simplicity of it and the subtle colors. I am sorry I haven't had time to research this mesa or mountain, but I will, eventually... :-(. I was thinking of the subtle colors and I began to wonder if this photograph would be good in black & white. So here is that version, below. Please be sure to click on each one because they are more interesting seen larger.
So there may be something to this even more subtle version. I think I will need to think about it, so I am presenting both of these to see what you all think. Color or Black & White?

Beautiful view as you approach Big Bend. I like the color one better because of the natural look. Trace
I too prefer the color one….more inviting …the black and white one a little too eerie for me
I prefer the color also as it is very subtle but welcomes you to Big Bend with a little more detail shown.
I prefer the color one. Bright and sunny with blue skies makes it seem very hospitable. Betsey
i like the timeless quality of the b&w.
Thank you all for your votes, which I appreciate. I do love the color image, but I also like the black & white image which takes more time to get deeper into. I often take some of my color images and convert them to black & white just to see what they look like, as I did here.
