fish's ch28 attempt

[fish]

I can't decide between b/w and color. The color has so much emotion...I can hear her shrieking, but the b/w is timeless and reminds me of a similar photo taken of my wife when she was about five.

thoughts?

I like the black and white one. It seems softer and sweeter. I think the bright red mouth detracts from her pretty eyes in the color shot. She's a darling girl. Great capture.

I am not a portraiture expert, but I prefer the color over the B&W. I think the color version might be better if the color saturation was backed off a bit -
I find my eye strongly drawn by the red colors and this might be lessened by decreasing the saturation in the reds in her mouth slightly.
The B&W seems more abstract, but the lighting is not dramatic enough to compete with the color. I think the B&W needs to go sepia or more high key. Just my thoughts in passing. She looks like she was really having fun with her dad.

Absolutely. I like that a lot better. It still leaves enough color to get the emotion across.

I think this is a lot better - One other suggestion might be to increase the saturation back slightly in her eyes only, to really grab the viewer. ?It might work, right?? :1drink Very nice Fish. I can see I need to drag out my old white reflector umbrella and join in too. :D

I agree, with more saturation on the eyes, it would attract the viewer :)

That's it. Very nicely done!

That second grader is giving you 'the look'. And those huge eyes just scream at
you 'better not'...

Cool picture though.
