I'm trying to experiment a little more with B&W and thought this might be a good choice, but I can't decide. I shot this on a white seamless and I think the colors pop with it, but really like the candid expressions that helps the B&W stand out.

Also, whether you favor the B&W or not, I'd love your feedback on it. I'm new to the B&W world (I usually shoot sports) so I'll take any advice you can give.

Very nice, I like them both but lean more to the colour version.

Cheers,

My kind of cake smash (find the mess a little gross). Color wins over B/W here.

Loving my new camera! I have absolutely NO idea what I'm doing with it,
but giving "hobbyist photographers" a bad name has been fun! :lol:

Thank you everyone for your opinions. Everyone I have shown the photos to are also in agreement that the color is their favorite.
