The black and white really pops and gives the photo a mystical feeling. Love it!

Thanks. There is a nice contrast in brightness when you reduce to black and white; it's stronger than the color contrasts. Green and brown are actually fairly compatible, not like, say, blue and orange.

I like both, but the B&W version is magical.

Thanks. Other than the black and white, they are identical in processing.

Amazing how the addition or subtraction of color can alter how something appears.

Many animals, I believe, do not see color; this is their world. If you further play around with the color the feed into the black and white, you can change the emphasis. I have to think, though I have no actual basis, that animals have evolved such techniques (if red is important in a prey species, maybe they see red differently?). I know that different species have different spectral response - into the UV and IR, things we can't see at all.
