Lichen, moss, flowers, grass - just subtly present but important. They add life to the crustiness of ages. A good exercise.
The colour version has more immediate appeal with the purple flowers contrasting with the greys and green/brown of the stone and grass.
The b&w image reminds me of a giant reptile fossil!, But the heavy shading around the subject doesn't really work for me.
Voted anyway.

The colored version for me. There is such variety and depth that is missing in the mono. The mono looks like a dinosaur spine, lifeless. The color comes to life with the growth that has enveloped the stones and incorporated them into their world.
My award for the color version.

Very graphic, the version.
But more graphic still in monochrome, with mood thrown in for good measure.

The colour version explains what I am looking at in the lead image. Without it as a visual explanation, thoughts of an abstract take on old teeth or more likely the backbone of some long-dead creature.
The colour is a 'very nice' record of the wall, but the artistry is in the b&w conversion. It asks questions the colour doesn't ask.

Exactly what I was trying to get across.
Excellent Alan, I think for me the colour just takes it though

The mono is much better, it transformed the ordinary subject into something interesting abstract, it looks like the bone structure of an unknown creature of Jurassic age, credit to your observation and your skill to transform a dull subject into an interesting abstract, The Archaeological Survey of India approves it...Well Done...
I can see the appeal in the colour version but for me the mono image is streets ahead. You have taken a piece of the landscape and turned it into a piece of art.

I agree, we need both but the b/w is "the" one.
