I actually think I like this one better, although i think the b&w helped with the challenge somehow. really phenomenal shot, great job, added to faves.
I don`t know both are great but I love the light the color comming off the little girls right arm.But both are great. Harvey Sherman mrhsherman@yahoo.com
Also beautiful - especially like the way the color in her dress couples well with the setting sun and reflected color on the water. I can see your horizon more clearly in this one (was trying to see how straight it was in the other...)... A commenter on the other image mentioned the rock behind her head, now that I've noticed that, it distracts me a little - maybe some pp can help bring the color of/light on her hair out a little more... That long curly hair, that style of dress and her movement of it really make this.
Color is indeed very pretty but it doesn't touch the power of the B&W. Completely different feel from the same photograph. This is gentle, warm. The B&W is powerful, commanding.
I think the color version certainly did this shot justice and perhaps, you might have done well to have left it in color. It's sad that you felt that you needed to compromise the artistic view of this shot in favor of "technical perfection" as this truly is a beautiful photo as is here.
Thanks for your comment. Don't worry! I made no compromise. I have a strong preference for black and white photography, so this color version never had a shot!
