Woman with reflections

Early one morning, looking down the hill at the Bada rice terraces in Yunnan Province, China, I could see the figure of a woman with a load on her back walking along the dykes. I could see that she would pass an area where the dykes came together and that she would be reflected in the water, so I waited for the shot. The water-filled paddies were very bright as they reflected the morning sky and the mud dykes were dark so it was a no-brainer to convert the scene to black and white. High key processing was used in an accompanying image. Which do you prefer?
