Teenage Self-portrait - Colour or B+W/Sepia?

I'd go straight b&w on that one.

b/w for sure!

Colour version looks better to me than the sepia.

I like both but prefer the color.

Okay, thanks.

Any thoughts on the composition/lighting?

I think you may have went a little too far with the Red slider... (thread in shirt and Cherry Popsicle red lips)

Therefore I say Sepia FTW!

For me i'd say colour but if it were a bit cooler on the colour temp.
for the dramatic look your going for see what the straight black and white looks like,
in response to your lighting question I think you have done well with them my only thing personally for me the fill light would have been a bit less powerful but that's personal preference

hope this helps

nice photos! I prefer the color version.

Care to share the setup?

I think the color one rocks but desaturate the lips a bit

I prefer the colour. on my monitor the B&W looks like goldfinger was here.
