Default From color to b/w

DPS folks suggested (buried deep down in another thread) to do some PP and change this picture to black and white. I think this was a great idea!

As good as this image is in color, it certainly improves with the B&W treatment. If this was my daughter I would certainly get this framed and put in a place of honor in my home.

I agree, color is great but something about b&w is just attention grabbing. Great switch

I think that the after shot is GREAT! I absolutely love it! One thing though, because she is young, wouldn't it be nice to see a smile on her face?
