It's unanimous. Color 100%. Oops. I'm the only one that voted so far. Seriously, I, myself, think the color photo blows away the B&W on this one. Maybe because the flowers accent it so much. Plus the skin tone looks really good. Very nice shot. Your wedding?

I prefer B+W and would add a little contrast.
Why not try it out.

Looks like the B&W is just the color file with the color stripped out. Do a real B&W conversion and then see. As is the color wins between the two.

i voted for color but i feel a crop and a proper b&w conversion make the b&w just as good as the color.

nice capture

I don't know what u mean by "real BW conversion". Playing with channel mixer to get the saturation u want?

Put me down for the Color, even though I'm a huge fan of B&W I think the color works best for this photo.

Have you tried a mix in PS? I played around with a tighter crop and leaving full color in the background and less color in the couple. I think you could do a lot with it. I put it away because I was thinking why am I playing with someone else's file when I have so many here to mess with. I think if you want to play with it you could do some fun things. If not, I'd go for color.

I vote for BW

Color, but cropping out the back of the foreground woman's head is a good move.

Color. I usually would go for the B&W, but this image needs the color in my opinion. When cropped, the B&W works.
