Quote: V2. The mono is a little harsh and contrasty for the subject imo.
Willie
Thanks for the feedback, appreciated.
Anne
Both nice for different reasons. Black and white makes it somber vs the more jolly colour version. Makes a big difference to the mood! Lovely photo either way.
WONDERFUL COMP Think I like the mono but not much in it
what an incredible shot - both in black and white and in color. i really love this. =)

Thanks Carmen 
A very powerful image, Anne, and think V1 works best for me

The colour is a happy image with attention focussed on the cute child. The mono is more serious, focusses on her expression and the questions she is asking. I have looked at the versions several times and it is the mono that holds me longer, but an excellent capture whichever you prefer.
Dave
Mono for me, the expression on her face stands out nicely.

Spot on. In V1 I am looking for what the child is looking at, I am seeing what looks at first sight almost like an open grave in front of her.

B&W, Anne T. More dramatic, asks more questions. NOt just a small girl beside a fountain on a sunny day.
Is she playing hide & seek? Is she scared of something? Has she been momentarily forgotten? Does she need the little girls' room?
None of this comes across so strongly in the colour version.

Malc
Totally agree. The colour (and it is very nice colour indeed) is somewhat distracting. The B&W image is very stong.
Oh, and love the other bit of Malc's comment: "Does she need the little girls' room?"
Maria
I am torn between the two. The above comments have been thought-provoking, but still leave me sitting on the fence. I usually go for colour, without hesitation. So, you have produced something with a completely different atmosphere in V1. Well done.
Carmen, thanks for your UA! So very much appreciated coming from you
