Default I'm torn...would welcome your opinion

I just finished the edits on this shot taken today by wife of our granddaughter, and I love the color version, but after doing a Topaz brown toned black and white, I'm really loving it. Do you prefer the color version, or the brown toned version?
50mm
f/2
1/320
ISO 200

Color. The vivid cool blues and purples really stand out against the warmer earthy rocks.

The angle might be a bit extreme, but you weren't asking about that.

+1 on the color Vince ~ the B&W is nice too, but if I had to pick one it'd be the color.

Definitely the color version. It really stands out compared to the other.

Color,for me. When I look at each picture, your subject pops in the color shot. Where in the other she seems to blend.
IMHO
