Well if you go with color I'd suggest you cut the saturation a tad to soften the colors (especially the reds). It will result in a softer color range to match the softness of the light and the subject. The reds tend to be over saturated the around the left foot.
As far as color or BW, that's up to you.

[quote="gilbert"]I really like the diffuse nature of the color one, yet I like the shadows and contrasts in the B&W one (They are different images). What do you guys think? Which one do you like more?
In Photoshop, I added converted the B&W from a color image and added grain.
