Try layering them exactly (with the B&W on top) and making the b&w version a soft light overlay (or whatever overlay looks best). Should boost the contrast on the colour version like crazy.
What sharpening did you use? the right arch looks soft?

I switched over to high-pass filter sharpening a while back, here at perhaps 60% using hard light. Doing some exposure work on the far arches/details, with this sharpening, is what brings them out. Seems Kelly does not approve
I checked the original, and the largest arch, on the right, is indeed a bit soft.
The (single) focus point is in the middle of the frame, here it's on the dark traingular point on the 3rd arch in. 60mm @ f/8, and I was very close to the first arch, so it was too near to remain in focus.
I was originally wanting to capture the detail all the way to the horizon, and I think I did.
More a matter of preference than approval. Having the distant background razor sharp gives an image a more flattened look. Had it been the other way, with the near arch sharp, then a nice atmospheric effect would have taken place, which helps give a sense of depth.
In my opinion the B&W has more depth which has the effect of pulling the viewers eye along the stone buttresses; my preference would be for more texture in the blacks and a little more contrast in the middle tones which will help to emphasis the brooding heaviness of the buttresses. Thank you.
It is great Photograph. It look good in both color and BW. My personal preference id BW for this photo and it has a lot of potential in BW. To answer your specific question; Drama would refer to the Toning and Contrast of an Image. It also refers to the an aesthetic balance between the shadows, mid tones and highlights.
Of the three this look better. mid tones and the dark values are more pleasing and the photograph looks more natural. you can crank up the clarity of the pillars on the left using a mask and keep the other parts of the Image as is.
A very interesting Image.
