it's weird... the colors look WAY different now that they are sized for the web and posted hear. It's a lot warmer of a photo in reality.

I am a sucker for b/w images. Go for that one. The WB looks a bit off in the colour one!

The color looks too warm for me ...... the original must be on fire if its warmer still !!!

Like the B&W, if only to hide that color !

The WB is off in the color version and it needs to be sharpened just a tad. Doing this will greatly improve the contrast in a B&W conversion.

I guess I'm old fashion, but I think bw suits the get ready shots, as it's a more journalistic feel over them, and often bw is not so distracting. In this above photo, the person in the background becomes more distracting in the color version than in the bw version, for instance.

Wow, the edit looks fantastic. I like the color in the edit a lot, but I would chose the edited b&w version for portfolio deisplay.

I completely agree. I usually will put almost all the getting ready pics in BW. So, I'd go w/the BW. ;)

I like all the shots on your page. The B/W especially- they seem to have more punch. The one in the bottom left hand corner is a cracker!
The colour balance could do with tweeking a bit on the colour ones.
