Paul, I prefer the later (cropped) version to this one. Btw, it's Dev, not Avi :)
Thanks

The color version is very beautiful, but sometimes the different colors distract from the overall subject. That's why I often convert to B&W...it blends everything together...makes the photo more uniform. A lot depends on the subject.
But, everyone is entitled to their own taste. When I first met Stan Ciszek on UF, he did not like B&W at all,...only color...but he has learned to like certain B&W photos through me.:)

Ya know...despite every one voting for B&W, I still think it blends everything into one tone. I really prefer the skin tones contrasted with the blue top and enhanced by the cream couch.
I just love perfect skin tone, and think it all goes to waste in B&W porraiture.
...just sayin'

Paul,
Out of the 3 posts, this is the best IMHO... ;) The cropped version doesn't have the contrast, or sharpness like this 1...
Take my opionion and $5, then you can get a cup of "Joe"... hehehe
Keep up the "Awesome" work my friend,
Marty

Since they're not in the original frame, your idea seems best, Al. Thanks!

My vote would be the B&W, I might have cut her legs even hight, leaves no doubt that it was done on purpose

Thanks for the comment, Davide. I tried, but her legs were too long. :)

Nice b&w tones and a good soft light, but it's a pity you cut out her feet (well, that's my opninion not a crtiticism ;-) ). Davide.

I would crop in a bit tighter on the left, a bit more on the right, and a bit off the top. Think it works MUCH BETTER in B/W. A good shot, maybe very good. I like the model, hope you had her do a 100 expression variations - with digital you can pop those off easily at no extra cost (well, wear and tear on the lights and camera - but it's worth it)........
