I prefer yesterday's as I think the colour gives a great deal of warmth to the shot, especially the yellows. As the subject has such a wonderful, happy, bubbly look to her, colour (for me) works better.

@Graham Russon: I agree with your assessment. I love the warmth of the color one. Thanks, Graham. :)

nice conversion, but i like the color better. i agree with graham that her coloring deserves the full-colr version...

this is hard. i'm not sure. i think her face looks prettier in color, but i think the black and white emphasizes her face and how it seems to be glowing a bit more. they're both great.

I like the B&W but I think I prefer the color. I think perhaps it's not so much to do with the effect on the model, but that by comparison to the foreground the background lacks the tonal drama to sustain the image in B&W.
