Stunning portrait! Her eyes just capture your attention and they are beautiful. #5626595Jennifer L. Taranto March 11, 2008
I love the color tones - I think they had a whole new depth to this gorgeous portrait!! #5626640frank w. degenhardt March 11, 2008
Jennifer- Normally I am a bigger fan of the black and white. However on this particular portrait I think the color gives the picture alittle more depth and a better look. I think its because the color seems to highlight the textures a bit more. Both photos are outstanding work and the shadows are awesome. Love the whole look.Lynne Morris March 11, 2008
Wow Jennifer, this is awesome, not only is she a gorgeous wee girl you have captured her beautifully, wonderful work as always! #5626767Jennifer L. Alder March 11, 2008

They are both stunning... but I would have to say ( in this case ) I like the colored version better... HER EYES LOOK AMAZING (blue) ... Excellent work Jen!~ erika #5627424
Bobbie L. Slayton March 11, 2008
I would normally choose the B/W but this is excellent. Her eyes are over the top. Great work and sure to be a winner. #5627570Christian Rosito March 11, 2008
Now the dilemma, you'll put the judges in trouble, LOL! I guess I'll stay with this one, rather than the B&W version, both are great. #5627599Jennifer L. Alder March 11, 2008
THANK YOU ALL so much!As you know I am a huge black and white fan; however, in this case I do enjoy the color version. I feel they both have unique qualities to them... no need really to "pick" LOL! :) #5627610
