Color or B/W?

[510picker]

Which version looks better? I'm kind of torn.......I love B/W, but the color fits the season.

B&W seems to work better for me. More "traditional" Xmas, if you know what I mean...

Black and white does look more "timeless"

I like both, initially perhaps the color version a bit more. If you can touch up the slight red-eye problem. The faded border works better with the b&w though, so all in all I'd finally go with the b&w. Cute girls!

I would have to agree that the colouring is really nice in the first picture. However, I've always been big fan of sepia toned b&w photographs. It's pretty easy to find some good actions for Photoshop, and then you can play around with it from there. I think the faded edge would look really good with the sepia. (really works with an aged photo)

i think the eyes of the younger girl 'pop out' a bit more in the color version.

Both nice - but being in the grey brigade mono works better for me.
