B&W with vignette does it for me. Nice shot.

Color separation of elements is stronger visually and even though the b/w treatments work here the color palette is very nice in this image. If I can't get a decent color palette printing in b/w becomes a better choice.

I like the second edit, but the B&W feels very grey to me?


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

atleast 1 vote for each version, so basically everybody likes a different version............I can't decide which one to post on website!!!!

My wife says B&W with vignette, and I'm torn between the same & the color, just can't decide which is more appealing to me.

Also just for the info, this picture was shot on vacation of my nephew, with a Xsi & 50mm 1.4

I agree with these...the color just jumps out (but I'd probably crop that stray vertical band of yellow on the left edge).

The B/Ws are done well, I'm just not a fan of the post vignette. Has gotten too gimmicky and overdone, IMO (kinda like selective coloring).
