With that beautiful red hair, I say stick with the color version!
I would aslo crop most of the left side of the photo out.

I agree

Color for sure

Her expression and smile are too colorful for B&W. color is way more effective here.

This is already cropped way down... I considered having her on the left side instead of centered, but I didn't know if I liked it for sure. I will go back to the original and re-crop! Thanks!


Thank you guys for your opinions! I will be starting a 365 with her on her 2nd birthday and one with my now-3-month-old (they are 361 days apart) on her 1st birthday. Very excited

Wishing the focus had hit her face? It's soft there.

Yeah, I wish it had too.

+1 to color.

There's a black patch at her mouth in the b&w version which makes it look weird.

Color. Use B&W when it actually adds something to the image by removing the distraction of color. That said, I think you can get more out of this image and keep the color, but the missed focus may make it not worth the effort.

No question - color.
