I much prefer this. The background colour was a little distracting in the other. Feels like it's on a lean though. Maybe a slight clockwise rotation needed?
my fave of the 3, though I'd probably go darker when I converted it. She looks backlit and I would probably emphasize that at the expense of detail, but that's just my preference.
You know what my favorite part of this is?? the bandaid - so typical for a kid with bare knees. I think I like the bw better - we can concentrate on shapes, light and dark. ;~D
