Default A Measure in Vanity - help me choose a version

A product of sheer boredom of being stuck at home on a rainy Saturday night (thanks to Ike!)

Please help me choose the best conversion

"A Measure in Vanity" - Bleach Bypass : Wanted to convey that vanity can be an ugly thing.


"A Measure in Vanity" - B&W Conversion : No reason, just better than the normal color version


Strobist :
430ex at 1/4 power camera left w/ shoot thru umbrella

Thanks for looking.

Default Re: A Measure in Vanity

The color version has it, hands down.

My problem with the b & w version is that there is too much contrast such that the deeper shadows are more blocked up.
