If I had to pick I prefer this B&W version; why? I'm not sure, but B&W just has an appeal for me that color sometimes does not. Possibly color is just a mechanical reflection of reality while B&W is a recreation of the essence of the subject but stripped of all but the essentials? It tranforms the image into something different and more personal than what we see in life.

Excellent shot. The expression is very good.

Super portrait...

I love the movement in this picture. The look and the eyes of the models says everyting and makes the picture. Actually, I think that the calm, nice and secure look in her eyes and the contrast to the wind in her hair and shirt makes a perfect match! One of the best portraits I´ve seen in a long time!

The only minus I see here is the bottom of the shirt
makes her look pregnant.
(Unless of course she is).
Just trying to be serious here.
