 By request. I almost like this better. Contast is a bit high and the overexposed areas here are more obvious to me.

The B&W does concentrate attention to the patterns in the clothes and their animated conversation.

I think I prefer the B&W as well.

I vote for b&w, too. Their features are so similar, they must be related. The b&w accentuates this.

Hmn. Moments like this - zigging back and forth between the 2 versions - make me think I need some serious art training. In the original, the similarities in dress were more salient because we could SEE that they were more or less the same colour, and I found that delightful. ("More or less" is a useful and desirable thing in my opinion). On the other hand the background flowers seemed to pull us away from these more or less similarities; so yes, the BW is tighter and pulls us straight into the conversation of these two, but now I miss "knowing" their similar colour choices. Overall I think this one has a greater quicker kick.

Yeah, b&w works well for this.

Tnun called it true.. it is better in B&W - it cements the similarities - the overexposed areas are fine to my eyes.. in your work the high contrast is your trademark.. but that is just my 2 cents and I am not an expert in any way shape or form.. but I really like this treatment on this shot.
