I agree about the color and I"m not sure why - it doesn't seem very vibrant... I played with the color balance a little but it still doesn't pop as much as i'd like, any suggestions?

If you shot these shots in RAW you can try correcting the Wb and then bumping the saturation to 1 or 2 in DPP

In this above photo, the person in the background becomes more distracting in the color version than in the bw version, for instance.

Thats what I was going to say and in the b/w one id consider fading the person in the back into the background more.

When doing black and white conversions I find you get better contrast by converting to CYMK then desaturating, after that I reset the mode to RBG and play around with the channels some.

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.

it's your color management. i'm guessing you are using Adobe RGB (a color space normally more warmer [red]) for the original.. convert the profile for any images going to web.. this way colors will be more similar

i can't remember, but the sRGB color space is more accurate for browsers, i think they actually use that. your colors will shift a bit but normally it will shift a lot less than leaving it in adobe rgb and viewing it in a browser
